In an interview with Hauterrfly, Kangana Ranaut (Indian actress) expressed her views on the societal hypocrisy regarding extramarital affairs, where unmarried women are often blamed for relationships with married men. She remarked that while young women are criticized for falling for married men, the men themselves are rarely held accountable for their actions. Dr. Divya Shree K R, a psychiatrist at Aster CMI Hospital in Bengaluru, elaborated on the motivations behind married men's infidelity, noting that it often stems from dissatisfaction in their current relationships or a desire for validation. Dr. Shree highlighted that societal norms tend to judge women more harshly for moral failings while excusing men's behavior. This double standard reflects deep-rooted gender roles that expect women to uphold moral values. Both Ranaut and Dr. Shree call for a shift in this mindset, advocating for equal accountability and questioning cultural norms that protect men while shaming women. The discussion also touches on the broader issue of victim-blaming in cases of sexual violence, where women are often scrutinized for their choices rather than holding men accountable for their actions.
