My views on the Salman Khan 'Raped Women comment'
Salman Khan's recent observation of his work
schedule making him feel like a 'raped woman' was no doubt made without
much(sensible) thought on the actor's part, as is being vouched for by many of
his supporters. His careless tongue had also made another strikingly misogynist
remark in the very same interview. While this has been less reported about, it
clearly shows that Khan's thoughts aren't carefully thought out and
irresponsible at the best but crude, insensitive, sexist and patriarchal at the
worst.
In the very same interview Khan had regarded women synonymous to vice. As reported by Vagabomb, he ranted, "Leave every second vice in your list-that is the mantra I follow. And I have left everything one by one. When it was between coffee and cigarettes, I quit coffee. Between cigarettes and drinks I quit the stick. Between the drinks and women, I have chosen women.”

If women itself symbolizes vice then he could have
very well meant that he felt like a 'woman' when he said that those wrestling
rehearsals for Sultan made him feel like a 'raped woman'.. A woman, a raped
woman, has been slighted by reducing her to an enfeebled being. Her trauma has
been slighted. She has been slighted.
My thought on this interview in brief would be, retweeting singer Sona Mohapatra (#SonaLIVE @sonamohapatra), "Women thrashed, people run over, wildlife massacred yet #Hero of the nation..Unfair. India full of such supporters."

The Dark Rooms leading to the Dark Mind...
Lights Out
David F.Sandberg

When
the lights are out, David F. Sandberg drags us into the darkest crevices of an
apartment where an insomniac boy Martin stays with his mother Sophie…why can’t
the boy get a good night’s sleep? Because
they’re not alone... A monstrous apparition follows them to these
dark corners, a blackened silhouette of a woman named Diane, an unearthly
creature who had befriended Sophie since their days together in a mental asylum.What
appears to be the darkest nooks and corners of their apartment, where her
imaginary friend Diane thrives, owing to her skin being diseased and sensitive
to light, is in reality the darkest niche of Sophie’s depression driven state,
having lost her second husband and being detached from her elder daughter henceforth.
As Sophie’s daughter Rebecca intervenes, she finds herself to be reliving the
childhood bedtime nightmares with her brother. Burying deep down into Diane’s
past, can Rebecca understand how to ward off her sinister presence in her
family forever?
