One part of the discussion in Indian society, specially in the aftermath of the horrendous attack, violation and murder of Physiotherapy Student Jyoti Singh, has been on objectification of women and of the patriarchal tendency of blaming the victim.

Though this compilation consists only of ads made in the west... There are some who wonder how much of such stuff happens in India and to what gravity????
