It’s straining men (too)!

Much has happened in the recent past, where celeb and non-celeb women have come forward to take a stance against the abuse they've faced from influential men at workplaces and elsewhere. However, given false allegations that have also come to light, the #MeToo movement in India has slowly but steadily started transforming into the #MenToo movement. Recently, actress Esha Gupta uploaded a post on her social media vilifying and abusing a businessman named Rohit Vig for allegedly “raping” her with his eyes at a restaurant in Delhi. Insensitive smattering The defamation suit filed by his lawyer Vikas Pahwa declares, “The mental agony caused to the complainant is continuing every day since close friends and colleagues are contacting him and his family on a continuous basis and expressing displeasure over the content posted by the accused.many members of the public have been expressing doubts on the integrity and moral character of the complainant believing the false and defamatory statements to be true.” Any sort of sexual misconduct is condemnable and any victim of who went through the ordeal needs to be trusted and supported. And while it is worrisome when the sensitivity of the issue is mocked upon by people making false allegations for the sake of revenge, profit or quick fame, it is especially baffling to see empowered celebrities debasing men for their petty ego’s sake.
