Those who harass women online tend to think of them as easy targets. But women are no longer willing to take this abuse lying down. Instead, they have now started to turn the tables on these cowardly perpetrators by dumping all the shame on them, like one woman from Juhu who found obscene messages from four men in her Facebook inbox
Those who harass women online tend to think of them as easy targets. But women are no longer willing to take this abuse lying down. Instead, they have now started to turn the tables on these cowardly perpetrators by dumping all the shame on them, like one woman from Juhu who found obscene messages from four men in her Facebook inbox.
A report in this paper yesterday highlighted how the woman, Tara Kaushal, took screen grabs of the filthy messages and pasted them on the culprits' Facebook wall, naming and shaming them in full view of the World Wide Web. Her action has blown the lid off the men, one of whom has a history of harassment which is now out in the open.
