Saying you will take a girl on a date, spend 370 rupees on biryani and then expect sexual favors in return is not freedom of speech. It is a threat. Said into a microphone. In front of an audience that laughed.
This is how rape culture sounds when it is made comfortable. When it gets a stage and applause and a reel that goes viral. The man was not joking. He was announcing his worldview and testing how many people would cosign it.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. It definitely does not mean the freedom to threaten women's dignity and bodily autonomy for a few laughs. Those are not rights. That is just entitlement with a mic.
You wanted the crowd. Now face the consequences. That is also how it works.
First time in a long time a man faces consequences for displaying misogyny and people have started crying about freedom of speech. There are men and women in jail for speaking for human rights. Such hypocrisy.

He was not just a happy-go-lucky voice.
Didn't deserve to be vocally typecast the way he was ❤️🩹
Hear how his vocal delivery is both hollow & replete with emotions at the same time! Genius!
I don’t get the hate. She faced the consequences while he’s still idolized. She rebuilt her career after 30 and earned her success. According to me she has every right to be proud of her success.
