"This
reeks
of
entitlement
and
gross

The
parents
are
to
be
blamed
for
raising
sons
who
don't
respect
human
beings
and
spoiling
them.
And,
boys
you
should
be
ashamed."

Kids..

Soon
after
actress
Richa
Chaddha
also
tweeted
and
said
it
is
a
multi-faceted
problem,
and
this
incident
is
an
example
of
how
dangerous
it
can
be.
This
a
multi-faceted
problem.
Because
everyone
is
still
squeamish
about
sex
education
in
our
populous/moralistic
country,
teenagers
are
confusing
porn
for
sex
education!
And
now
data
is
free.
How
dangerous!
This
will
explode
in
our
faces
in
the
next
five
years
sadly,I
reckon.

Please,
wrote
an
open
letter
on
the
controversy.
"Misogyny
begins
at
home.
It
seeps
through
our
words.
It
reinstates
through
our
actions
&
it
is
enabled
through
our
gender-based
morality,"

a
few
lines
from
the
letter.
