However, the man defended his actions by sharing captions posted by women with the word “pataka”. He claimed that the word was also used by women to describe themselves. He wrote, “Our ‘pataka’ pataka my ‘pataka’ rapist misogynist creep blah blah? Just for people teaching me how to spell ‘consent’. I did not download their media and posted it from my account. I have quoted it…”
Meanwhile, many women, whose pictures were quoted in the techie’s thread, deleted their images and objected to be man’s actions.
