00:00There is a woman who agrees in the commercial advertisement of a men's safety razor.

00:07And there she's half nude and dancing and inviting men to buy that safety razor.

00:14Don't you know how that happens?

00:16Media including mainstream movies and commercial advertisements and all those things, right?

00:22We are saying they insult women, they degrade women.

00:27My approach always is, can anything happen to you without your consent?

00:31Is it really being done forcibly?

00:32No, it is not being done forcibly.

00:35If something is being done forcibly, why not fight it?

00:38What's the worst that can happen to you?

00:40You lose certain privileges, extreme, you will lose your life.

00:45How is a life in bondages worth living anyway, please tell me.

00:50What is the worth of freedom, you figure that out.

00:53And if you have much in life and not freedom, what do you have, figure that out.
