Mamta Mohandas thinks that if a woman gets into trouble she is responsible for it

In a recent interview to the Times of India, actress Mamta Mohandas has given her word on WCC. She stated that a body like WCC is not required to stand for women. She went on to state that she is a different individual who works on her own terms. On her opinion on the actress assault case, she said that the survivor and the actor in the assault case could’ve resolved their difference early.

However, what irked many is her statement on women safety. She said “I don’t know if I should be saying this, but if a woman gets into trouble, I feel somewhere she is responsible for it. Because if I have gotten into any sort of trouble where I have felt that someone has spoken to me with disrespect or in this situation, a sexual assault or a sexual abuse or anything indicative towards that manner, I feel I would have entertained some part of it. This is what I feel and that doesn’t mean that I am pointing fingers because I don’t think it should happen to anybody,”.

She also went on to speak about the physical appearance of a woman. ”I also think pretty women get attacked more. for a beautiful or a self-aware and independent woman to survive and still stay strong. I think society likes challenging their strength, as we have more stories to tell. We do become victims of certain unfair things. I think average looking women have it easier these days — in all aspects of life, from relationships to professions. They actually do better.”

Are you as shocked as we are after reading these statements? So is Rima Kallingal, one of the founding members of WCC, has responded to this in her Facebook post. ”“Dear Mamtha Mohandas and my sisters and brothers and LGBTQ community out there who have been through harassment and assaults and molestations and rapes in life, you are not responsible when you get troubled, cat-called, assaulted, molested, abused, harassed, violated, attacked, kidnapped or raped. The molester, assaulter, aggressor, violater, kidnapper or the rapist is responsible.”
