Nandita Das: Never said all men are rapists
Nandita Das
Actor, director and social activist Nandita Das is the latest to have been targeted by trolls over an alleged controversial quote attributed to her on social media.

READ - Nandita Das: Most of the actors who were dark have progressively become lighter

The supposed statement in question being, 'Every man is a potential rapist.' The quote went viral leading to the online community, especially the men, not only condemning it but also cracking jokes on it. "Every Nandita Das is a potential Alia Bhatt," said one of the many who objected it.

After realizing that the topic has created quite a furore online, the actress clarified, "I'm being falsely quoted. Never said all men are rapists. What kind of a stupid generalisation is that? Sad that I have to even explain this."

Of course she didn't say all men are rapists. The quote was every man is a "potential" rapist. Lack of one word and she can definitely deny not calling every man a rapist. Sweeet manipulation on words.


On a side note, she is quite credible with her work of feminism, so I would give her a benefit of doubt...

Every topic on the internet is a potential discussion on Hitler and Nazi Germany - Godwin's Law.

See it all does come down to an individual's INTERPRETATION!

Even with the word "potential" her statement is still offensive.

What if I said, every Muslim is a potential terrorist?

Or every woman is a potential rape victim?

Or every woman is a potential s**t?

Interpretations be damned. This is no way to talk.

I am sorry but I do not support Nandita on this. She deserved the trolling she got online yesterday.
