Year 2017 began with a mass molestation in Bengaluru. Women, who dared to step outside their homes to welcome the New Year were groped, molested, and sexually assaulted on MG Road and Brigade Road in the city.

Now, before you go for the authorities with all guns blazing, you might want to take a moment here and pay heed to what Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara had to say about the incident.

"Such incidents do happen on New Year's eve", he said. And we completely agree. It's mandatory of course. There's absolutely no other way to celebrate the eve other than molesting innocent women. In an interview with Times Now, Parameshwara blamed young people for 'copying the West' in how they dress. Thank you for your pearls of wisdom Mr. Parameshwara.

Ladies, why don't you get it? It's all your fault. Time and again geniuses like Parameshwara have tried to help you by showing you the right course. However, you still manage to get yourself molested. Honestly, are you too dumb to take the hint? Until of course, you are really asking for it. In which case, here are some essential ingredients that you should not miss.

Wear a Miniskirt To Draw Attention
Did a man pass an obscene comment at you? Did that make you angry? Well, were you dressed in a skirt, a dress, or jeans by any chance? Let us break it down for you: western clothes draw attention. And if you want men to ogle at you, go ahead. Now, those of you who have ever encountered such misfortunate incidents while dressed in a suit, sari, or a burqa--well, we don't know what to say. Let's just call it bad luck.

Step Out of Your Homes To Get Molested
Bengaluru women, don't blame anyone else but yourself for getting molested. How dare you step out of your homes to be a part of all the revelry? Don't you realize you are NOT allowed to have fun? Challenge the inevitable and shit will happen. What you need to do is lock yourself up in your house. What about the predator at home and the disgusting uncle next door, you ask? Well, that's your fault too. After all, men can do no wrong.

Drinking Means You Are Easy
Come on, why all the drama? If you are okay with drinking then why do you have a problem with strange men pawing at you? FYI, the two are related. You see, alcohol defines your character. Like drinking? Then you are a slut. Let's not make any bones about it. Your NO will not be heard, even if you shout it from the rooftops. A drink in your hand is enough of an indication for the wolves to descend.

Consent. What's that?
If you can let your boyfriend kiss you, touch you, or hold you then why can't you let other men do it too? Yup, that's what the herd mentality is. There is absolutely no difference between force and consent in their minds. The perverts, who spewed filth on the streets of Bengaluru saw women with male chaperons and decided to show them their place. So, if you want to protect yourself, it's best if you denounce all men in your life.

Good Girls Don't Laugh Loudly
Your laughter is an invitation. It incites men. The poor souls just can't control themselves and it's all your fault. Why do you have to bare your teeth while laughing? Just cover that goddamn mouth with your hand. Or better still, avoid laughing. Your laughter suggests you are having a good time, and good girls abstain from having a good time. Also, while we are at it, why don't you stop breathing all together? Problem solved.
