The new ads by Tata Sky, clearly show the kind of mental torture that wives do on husbands and go unpunished. Given the social conditioning, even the men could not do anything about the torture but tolerate it. It speaks of reality - Domestic Violence on men by their wives.
See the ads and know the reality and rectify your perceptions.

Just see for yourself, how the women are enjoying torturing their husbands. And the fact that such a theme could become an ad topic, clearly shows how much the society trivializes men's issues.
Lastly, I ask the readers, "Is a wife's TV Serial more important than your husband's happiness?"
Certainly the advertising ppl know that as per the Indian law, even preventing a wife from watching a TV serial is DV on her. But she preventing the husband from going to office, or keeping him hungry in the office is not.
Look at the utter helplessness of the Husbands\' faces, and the true sadistic faces of the Violent Wives!
Thanks for showing this to the world, Tata Sky!
Yes its very important to see the underlying message, which is that a lot of men take harassment, as part of life and do not complain. If they start complaining, then they are laughed at.
As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"
Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.
As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc.by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.
And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.
To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
