90% of Chennai rejects victim-blaming in rape cases, attributing fault to societal failure in educating boys.
Chennai residents overwhelmingly reject victim-blaming in cases of sexual assault, with 90% stating it is society's fault for failing to educate boys, not the victim's for going out. On personal choices, 63% believe women decide their own hairstyle, a significant shift towards individual autonomy. However, views on sexual exploration show a preference for direct experience, with 62% stating sex is better than masturbation. Societal acceptance of being single through school and college remains strong at 62%. While 63% believe girls will accept boys earning less than 50K, the issue of virginity reveals a perfect 50/50 split between those who feel it is overhyped and those who see it as integral to culture, indicating a deep societal tension.
