Dear Men,
I hope to find you all in good spirits and health.Or may be not. Because I am not. I have no energy or light to write a rebellious anything. More, because all such posts in the past didn't make any sense because evilness is being edified every next day.
A Letter To You. On the point, dear men, you are really dear to me. I have been admiring a lot of you since my childhood.
But since some months I was anguished over a few of you. And now, I am looking down on all of you.
A few wise women had told me,
 "Mard hote hi ese hai." 
I had ignored them back then.
But after continuous rapes, Nirbhaya case, Ahmedabad's 2 years old girl's rape, the recent 18 year old girl's rape and a black-spot on humanity by rape of 5 year old girl now, I am starting to dislike you all. I get a feeling that I should reconsider the wise women's statements. I have lost the count of all rapes happening and being shown on the TV and written in newspapers. But my disliking for you is increasing daily.
I have realized that writing on 'Society needs to change', 'Hang the rapist', etc. won't make any sense. Because they never did.
I am not pleading you or putting my gender on a weaker front,because we aren't as we don't rape. Also, I will try not to dislike you till I finish penning this letter down.
Blaming government, police, etc will also not help either of us.
Hence, I request you, because you are the only hope left.
Please don't rape any one.  Please don't make sexist remarks on any women walking past you or sitting next to your table.
Please ensure that your friends, sons, brothers, nephews, neighbor's sons, your office mate, your school mate, the Paan wala, the peon, the boss...please ensure they too don't rape.
Please tell your buddies who entertain such things to stop at that moment because it really isn't a cool thing to do.
Some of them might point you as impotent or a cry-baby because you aren't indulging in the fun they are having. Don't ignore them. Tell them they score 100x more on impotency score than you because they find rapes and objectifying women interesting. Ask them to get a life.
I do not want to hate you.
I do not want to see you all as potential rapists.
I do not want to perceive that men rape.
Please make me love you. Please make me feel safe when you are around. 
Please earn your respect in my eyes back.
I join my both hands, with sheer shame in my eyes again and I request, please don't rape.

Your fellow-mate on earth,
A Woman. A Letter To You. A Letter To You. A Letter To You. A Letter To You. A Letter To You. A Letter To You. A Letter To You.
