POLL | There are good men and good women. There are bad men and bad women. Like women, men also face immense mental health challenges and live under relentless social pressure. Any word or action can be misinterpreted, leaving them vulnerable to harassment. The tragic case of Atul Subash, a software engineer who took his own life after relentless legal harassment and extortion, highlights this crisis. His dying declaration exposed misuse of laws and lack of support for men facing injustice. While powerful men often evade accountability, countless ordinary men suffer in silence, with no platform to express their struggles or seek justice. There is now a growing demand for a National Commission for Men (NCM) to address such issues. Do you support the creation of NCM? Please RT if you want this issue to be discussed more seriously.

One thing I understand from the Atul Subhash case is that so many of these men are capable of mobilising support, raising funds, even attempting to force Accenture to fire the woman, reaching out to top management and more. When they want to, they will. So if they haven’t done anything so far to make sure rapes and child sexual abuse happen (especially for men and male survivors of sexual violence), Or even something like corruption and holding politicians accountable - you know why. Some of these people wont even do the needful to set up ICCs and POCSO units in the schools they send their kids to. They dont care if their kid gets abused in school. Even if it is their kid they ll probably call them a liar by habit and attempt to close the case by settling in a police station. They dont WANT to dismantle these systems that gives them power to abuse someone else. So people here can. Just that they dont want to.
