Maanvi Gagroo questions society: Why are men not judged for peeing on the road?

Actress Maanvi Gagroo questions societal double standards, asking why men aren't judged for public urination while women face constant scrutiny for personal choices.

"Nobody seems to judge men for things like peeing on the roads. So why aren’t men being judged in the same way? - Maanvi Gagroo"

Mumbai, Dec 19

Actress Maanvi Gagroo, who is all geared up for her latest offering, ‘Four More Shots Please’, has put forward her strong stance on society being constantly judgemental about women.

Talking to IANS, the actress questioned why it is always women who are under scrutiny for their choices and why men are rarely questioned at all, even when their actions are illogical.

“I feel there is constant judgement around what women do whether they drink or not, smoke or not, or party or not. Nobody seems to judge men for things like peeing on the roads. So why aren’t men being judged in the same way? They should be, right?!” asked Maanvi while talking to IANS.

“My issue is with the clear difference in judgement between the two genders. Actually, firstly, let's get both the genders on an equal level. Before even discussing whether the judgement is right or wrong, we need to ask whether judging anyone is fair in the first place, to be honest,” Maanvi concluded.

Maanvi Gagroo, in 'Four More Shots Please', essays the role of Siddhi Patel – a relatable, no-nonsense voice in her strong-headed, crackling friend group, juggling ambition, friendships, and life’s chaos while calling out hypocrisy with wit and humour.

Talking about Four More Shots Please season 4, which was released on the 19th of December, marks the final season. The first three seasons received great responses from audiences and critics alike.

The show, along with Maanvi Gagroo also stars Bani J, Kriti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta Prateik Smita Patil, Dino Morea, Lisa Ray, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Ankur Rathee, alongside new faces including Anasuya Sengupta and Kunaal Roy Kapur. The show has been directed by Arunima Sharma.

Valid point, but as a man, I have to say the peeing on roads issue is more about lack of public toilets than about judgement. We need better infrastructure. But yes, the scrutiny on women's personal choices is unfair.

It starts from childhood. Boys are rarely scolded for such things while girls are told to always be 'ladylike'. This conditioning needs to change. More power to Maanvi for speaking up! Love her in Four More Shots.

Interesting perspective. While I agree with her core argument about unequal judgement, I feel the comparison is a bit simplistic. Public urination is a health and sanitation issue that should be condemned for everyone, regardless of gender.

Finally someone said it! In our society, a man's 'indiscretion' is often laughed off, but a woman's every move is policed. From clothes to career choices, the judgement is relentless. We need to be better.

Her last point is key. Why are we judging anyone at all? Instead of scrutinizing women for smoking or men for peeing, can't we focus on being decent human beings? The show tackles these issues so well. Can't wait to watch S4!
