(Quoted directly from the article above.) “[Her father] had been upset for a while as he was being taunted by locals over his daughter’s income,” the Station House Officer Inspector Vinod Kumar told The Indian Express. “He was troubled by their remarks; they would keep saying the house is running on her money, and he is too dependent on that. He had asked [Radhika] several times to stop working at the academy, but she refused. He couldn’t take it anymore.” (End quote.)
That men and women should be able to work and earn money is not a difficult statement to find support for. But male resentment and stupidity are very common. And so we have murder because a father could not deal with his daughter’s success.
A tragedy of masculine standards and judgment. Internationally and domestically, men proclaim their power over women not out of strength or compassion but from envy and hatred as well as a constant desire for power and control
