Pond's cosmetics: good for your skin, but bad for men's rights?

We all know about the crazy domestic 'violence' laws in India, where a man can be jailed for insulting any female relative http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/wo鈥?/a>





But did you know that Pond's are supporting these laws?


';In India, UNIFEM, with funding from a private-sector partner 鈥?Pond鈥檚, a brand of Hindustan Lever Ltd. 鈥?supported the generation and publication of the first monitoring and evaluation report on the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act';

But what can we expect from a company that makes a fortune from skin-lightening products?

Are you supporting these discriminatory laws by buying Pond's products?Pond's cosmetics: good for your skin, but bad for men's rights?
Pond's cosmetic line is garbage anyways.





What I find even more disgusting is the following statement.......';Now, when a woman files a complaint the onus is on the man to prove that he did not abuse his wife.';


That statement alone speaks volumes to the assumption of guilt with which these men are regarded. He is essentially guilty, until proven innocent. Innocence is much harder to prove then guilt, so these laws have been manipulated to achieve a desired outcome. I am disgusted, but not surprised, by length these people will go to just to make sure ';equality and women's rights'; are meted out. Just another example of their willingness to steal the rights of men, to enhance the rights of women. Much like Pond's cosmetic line, it's garbage.Pond's cosmetics: good for your skin, but bad for men's rights?
I am glad that someone did the evaluation and monitoring of an act that was passed, coz getting compliance to any act passed is a headache. It seems good that the act penalises men for insulting females,relatives included.Would it have made a difference if a company that sold tanning solutions to make skin darker had supported the DV act.The choice of lightening or darkening the skin of anyone is their personal choice and its high time to stop taking the moral stand on behalf of people and thereby refusing them their right of choice to use what they want. Its better to educate the men not to insult relatives and respect women
Pond's products are good, that's not at issue here and saying they are won't make the other problem go away.


For years men had the right to do anything they wanted to women without recourse to the law. Things have changed a lot now, but it seems some women's groups in India would rather the situation was reversed, where men are now 'always' guilty. This is foolish revenge that will backfire eventually.
They just wanna sell more products and trying to make out they care about women is just a way of doing this.
Pond's products are last. Sticky and like gunge.
