In a shocking display of anti-women hate and promotion of femicide, an anonymous Twitter account by the name and handle @BharatiyaMen has said that he supports the Gurugram man who reportedly stabbed his girlfriend to death because she filed a rape case, and then surrendered himself. Retweeting the Tweets of another account by the handle @BerlinFamilyman which carried the screenshot of the news dated May 27, 2024 “Bhartiya Men” said, “My full support to this Gurugram man. Well done.”
The Tweet has received more than 3000 views, 333 Likes, 88 Retweets and about 17 comments/replies. All the other men on the replies section have also expressed their support for the man who stabbed a woman to death for whatever perceived notion and pretext. Many men can be seen suggesting that since law does not work, men have to take law in their hands. Below are some of the statements seen on the replies to the post. Emphasis and context added.
- This (killing the woman who filed a rape case) will only increase until the government addresses the real issue of false rape cases
- They (women) need to be teach lesson…after that system may wake up
- This is the best solution for problem
- When law doesn’t protects you then you have to take law in your own hands
- I don’t think this man has done anything immoral but yes what he has done is illegal
- This (killing the woman who filed a rape case) is the last option but if judiciary keep sponsoring feminist. This – killing the woman who filed a rape case – will become 1st and last option.
- I fully support this man (the man who killed a woman)
- More power (to the man who killed a woman)
One feels numb with shock to see such level of anti-women hate and incitement of femicide. A femicide is a murder where the motive of the murder is gender. These men want to kill women who dare to file a case of rape against them because they want to claim that all rape cases are false. They wish to kill the women instead of following the due process, which they claim is stacked against men.
In this world, all laws are misused and millions of men bring false cases against other men on thousands of reason. People all over the world across gender struggle with flawed, ineffective and biased judiciary. For thousands of years nobody believed a women who filed a case of rape and other violence because the judiciary was male dominated, with no women lawyers or judges or police. After thousands of years of struggle, women have now found the courage to take legal actions against their perpetrators. Do some of them misuse the law? Sure they do. Does that mean women who files a rape case should be killed?
What kind of society are we building where a male mob can utter such violent thoughts and wish for women’s death so openly that too from a verified account with a blue tick? The way Twitter (X) works is that if one buys a blue tick their content would be pushed to more and more other users who do not follow the account. Their hateful replies would be stacked up in the replies section. The platform makes profit from such accounts and the users also make profit by ad revenue share and this whole system is running on the wishful thinking of killing women.
Lastly, it should be noted that this level of hate and incitement of violence against women is coming from a so called “Bharatiya” or Indian or Hindu Man. Most of these women-hating accounts who pretend to be male victims of “false cases” are right-wing pro-Hindutva pro-BJP RSS accounts. The display picture used by this man shows an Indian flag and the words “You’re on Men’s Land.” The profile description reads, “Men Against Pink Terrorism.”
So is this what a Bharatiya man is? Is this Hindu values and culture? Is there nobody to drill some sense in these men? We also need to ask, who are these anonymous accounts spending money to spread such hate and what is their return on investment? What do they achieve from this?
