Mumbai bans lingerie-clad mannequins to save men from 'impure thoughts'

Source: Mumbai bans lingerie-clad mannequins to save men from 'impure thoughts' - Telegraph

Local councillors, known as corporators, said mannequins dressed in lacey underwear, stockings and suspenders, had led to a "pollution of minds" among men in the city, which has India's second highest number of rapes after Delhi.
Opponents said the mannequins were not as suggestive as erotic sculptures and carvings at celebrated temples like Khajuraho, which feature scenes of group sex and bestiality.

Members of Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, however, said the mannequins were illegal and immoral. "I have raised this issue and want an end to showcasing of women's body on Mumbai streets. Mannequins displaying two-piece clothes or other lingerie are corrupting the minds of people and are against the morals of the society. This affects the mindset of men towards women and they see her as a commodity. As a member of the society, we have to understand the awkwardness a woman or a family in a market will feel standing in front of such a mannequin," said Ritu Tawade, who proposed the ban.

Wow. Just wow. :banghead:

Next they will ban masturbation among the teens to save them from impure thoughts..

Where are we all heading too? Going by this, soon we will have a situation where women cannot step out without a burqa.
Seeing the mannequins corrupts the society? Come on, there are much better things to ban out there.
Indian culture is to blame!

I don't have enough faces and palms to express the stupidity of such proposal.

G

hahahahahahahahhahah

I think this is the method used by politicians to divert the attention from the corruption and scam topic

*Some* women feel awkward looking at manequinns.I repeat *some*

Anyway what difference does this make

Why is everyone getting so ballistic
Btw,Havaldars and BMC officials will find a novel new way of getting bribe from shopkeepers because of this ban
This was done for money for sure,But like I said,this will only open bribe sources for officials on the lower-end of the food chain,not the big-wigs,so why did they ban lingerie on mannequins? :chinscratch:

Okay, I never thought of a mannequin as a female.

Thanks for enlightening me Mumbai. Now I will never be able to look at a mannequin displayed in a shop the same way again.

This women Ritu Tawade should first kick out veena malik n sunny leone rather than banning lingerie mannequins :-x

Lingerie clad mannequins force men for impure thoughts then bollywood b grade ,cheopo typs films shub also be banned :punch:

stupid conspiracy theory you have there

You can expect such stupid policies if you have a certain regional Right-Wing party heading the BMC
There is no need for congress to be involved

Too some extinct it's also right :-?

When you are with kids . that time these mannequins are embarrassing & they do not serve any great purpose ..
Do women/ men see mannequins and buy undergarments?

Yeah.. recently saw on tv that pakistani veena malik distributing condoms to prostitutes in mumbai for her upcoming movie..
Even we should kick out the a**h**e mahesh bhatt too for bringing them.

That guy bhatt crap also had bad effect on father-daughter relationship.

Bann women !! Bunch of idiots.
Men by nature will get attracted to women, and thoughts of having sex which they refer as impure thoughts are implanted by nature. This is common in every men. Even him who improvised this idea of banning mannequins.

People who are mentally sick and can not control their urge for sex rapes. They need consulting by psychiatrist.

I also wanna write the same lines in reply but didnt since its a social forum. Ha ha

Well... that is interesting.. have you ever noticed how mannequins are evolving by times.. lolz..

impure thoughts! my ass!
I guess we all have the freedom to think whatever we like.

Next step will be to ban the lingerie-clad advertisements in Newspapers & TV.

B

The government and the so called representative of people ( corporaters ) don't know a s*** of law cause if they knew they would have proposed proper and justifying punishments to these gruesome acts....instead of banning this and that..... what do they think a guy comes back after a long day at office all tired and drained out sees a lingerie clad mannequin and transforms into a filthy cruel insane beast....please give us a reason to believe

That was one of the best satires, that I've read in the recent times.

It will drive pollution out of shop and stall assistants' minds. For remember Ms Tawade, it is they who dress (or perhaps you prefer the word 'underdress'?) the mannequins. Oh baba! Not just looking looking, but actually touching touching!

Epic!

read this news in today's HT paper..really this is not a solution

Comparing to this, they should also ban "Briefs-clad" Man mannequin as they will implant sexual thoughts on a woman when seeing it.

In the not-so-distant future:

^ We're not raging for banning "Lingerie-clad mannequins", but the reason behind that!
Why can't they ban Alcohols in a city saying "Men when drunken lose control and rape a woman, only to realise next morning that he did that thing in a sexual urge while he's drunk".

WTF did I just read? It is as if Indian men are some special kind of idiots who get aroused by Mannequins.

I can't understand that everyone is try to take a shot in the dark at the rape problems in India and everyone is missing the target.

It happened/happens, but in small quantities when compared to the opposite.

You stop being an idiot the moment you use a certain thing called the brain.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation
Or MCGM (Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai)

If we do, we have to protest against the mannequin-ban that it won't bring any goodness against the minds of men.

True that, protesting this is no use. Better to wait and watch while they exhaust all the frivolous possibilities and then move on to actual issues.
