Talk:Eve teasing

message: "The death of a female student (Sarika Shah) in Chennai in 1998, caused by Eve teasing, brought some tough laws to counter this menace in South India. After this case, there had been a half-a-dozen reports of suicide, that had been attributed to pressures caused due to Eve Teasing."
What does this mean? How did Sarika Shah die? I guess she committed suicide like those mentioned in the following sentence, but the sentence on its own implies that Ms Shah was "eve teased" and somehow fell over dead. --62.56.36.233 22:12, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification?

message: The article inconsistently capitalizes the term: is Eve meant to be always capitalized like the female name or is the term lower-case now? -Phoenixrod 11:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Capitalization

message: I don't think that word means what the authors of this article evidently think it means!  No one following the link to "Puritan" would have the least idea what your meaning was.  "Puritan" really means something closer to "anti-Catholic" and has nothing to do with sex.  So I have removed the link and the word, too.  It could be perhaps replaced with it something like "victorian" or better yet, to avoid cultural stereotyping altogether, how about "prudish"?Amity150 22:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree. The word "eve-teasing" is unique to and has certain local cultural connotations in South Asian society. It definitely merits an article of its own.--SohanDsouza (talk) 09:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Western Media?

message: I removed the un-cited statement "In other trains, ladies are advised to travel in AC Coaches as these would be free of the economically poor and socially backward men." The current wording implies that "poor and backward" men are more likely to harass.  There is no evidence that men of a certain class or economic background are more likely to harass. In my very brief experience in India, I was 'eve-teased' by white collar IT workers and rural farmers alike. A quick scan of Indian articles about eve-teasing shows many examples harassment by male college students (arguably well-educated).
I only think the line is worth including if someone cited an article with a government official's recommendation, and included an explanation that the poor/backward comment is the official's opinion.Nomenphile (talk) 06:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: How did the 2012 Delhi gang rape case not get cited?

message: I removed the citation for the last sentence in the article "Eve-teasing is highly criticized by the media and have initiated many angry remarks on social media sites like Facebook." link to citation because it is a blog article and not anything close to a reliable source. It reads much like a fictionalized story and there's no way of knowing whether or not any of the claims are supported by actual evidence. I would not say this constitutes as support for the claim "highly criticized by the media". I'm not sure if the second statement about receiving angry remarks on social media sites is even notable, for that matter. Fuebar (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

message: There is consistent use of a hyphen for the term in the article, but not in the title. Which reflects common use? Me, Myself & I (talk) 02:26, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

message: The Article is pretty informative and will work to reach the general indian population but I would request the addition of more worldwide views regarding this topic so that the readers could be aware of the various laws, rallies, views etc. implemented in the world. If possible could the author add more topics regarding the issue in different countries ? As this would surely achieve to give us more knowledge which is the aim of an encyclopedia in the end.
