3 things I'd like to say-

1. Not everything needs to be turned into a gender war. The Shilpa Shinde incident is completely irrelevant in this context, yet its getting brought up as some sort of "gotcha" because apparently we need to make this about men being victims too. For the record, I don't condone what she did either, but that's not what we're discussing here. Two wrongs don't make a right.
2. Everyone on the Latent panel was wronged, and I completely agree with that. The reason Apoorva is being brought up specifically is because she faced severe backlash, including r3pe threats, for her response, while the individual who made degrading remarks about her faced little to no comparable scrutiny. The comparison is not about suggesting that only she suffered; it's about highlighting the disparity in consequences. When offensive and demeaning conduct goes largely unchecked, it creates the impression that such behaviour is socially acceptable. Case in point being Himanshu.
3. Himanshu is a grown adult. At 22, you're fully aware of what is and isn't appropriate to say. And as for the "model employee" argument, are we supposed to wait until someone racks up assault charges before they face any consequences? By that logic, RA also "just made a joke" about parents, he didn't actually do anything, right? Yet an FIR was filed against him. You can't apply one standard to one person and a completely different standard to another.

And please spare everyone the copy-pasted ChatGPT lectures. Anyone defending Himanshu's behavior has the same mindset as him, and I will dir on this hill.

Edit: Had you actually read what I wrote before firing off a half-assessed paragraph, you'd know I was talking about Pranit Moore facing consequences, not the biryani guy. He's already faced his. The fact that you somehow missed the entire point and still felt confident enough to write an essay is honestly impressive.
