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."
