Adam Taunting

 

"Eve-teasing, the word "Eve" alludes to the biblical story of Eve tempting Adam to stray from the path of righteousness. An Oxford English Dictionary definition for "teasing" is "to tempt someone sexually with no intention of satisfying the desire aroused. Both parts of the term put the blame on the woman; she is the temptress who isn't providing something she has promised”, explains Ranjani Iyer Mohanty, a writer for Wall Street Journal. The word ‘Eve-teasing’ not only dilutes the seriousness of the crime it refers to, but also squarely places the blame on women themselves.

‘Adam Taunting’- , is a satirical series addressing the issues of eve teasing and street harassment. It is a collection of 12 anthropomorphic characters of men who objectify women; and become objects themselves, when seen through the female gaze.
