'Virgin or Not'... Bengaluru Auto's Gender Equality Message Sparks Debate Online
The slogan has sparked a heated online discussion over whether the message is problematic.
Viral News: Indian autorickshaws are known for their unique posters and messages, which are often striking. One such display behind an auto rickshaw in Bengaluru has emerged as the focal point of a debate.
A photograph of the slogan has garnered significant attention on X, as the message reads, “Slim or fat, black or white, virgin or not. All girls deserve respect.”
The post was shared by an X user, who captioned it, “Some radical feminism on the roads of Bangalore.”
The slogan has sparked a heated online discussion over whether the message is problematic.
How Did the Netizens React?
"Rick wale bhaiya is more civilized than most of those tech bros in Bangalore," one user wrote.
Another opined, "Radical? That's not even feminism. It's just basic human decency."
A third user commented, "It's not radical feminism. Yes, I agree that it could have said 'married or unmarried' instead of 'virgin or not.' At least the driver is respecting women."
"How hard is it to just say that all girls deserve respect?" another comment read.
"I can't believe I've got to say this, but I don't actually think this is radical feminism? It’s a joke?" the user later clarified.
