First and most importantly, no. It is not okay or justifiable by any means.
If we trace the evolution of gender roles in society we’ll observe that there was a point in history when men and women were equals, women were scholars, artisans, philosophers, etc. We cannot pinpoint a certain event when women started being treated as inferior.
The belief that humankind has today, is that society is inherently patriarchal. This belief at present may not be blatantly obvious. But it can be seen in instances like the one you mentioned.
There has been some positive development in the perception of traditional gender roles in our country, but we are still a ways behind the idealistic reality we all chase.
The hope is, that one day men will be taught again to protect women and not harm them. And that women feel safe no matter the time or place because basic respect and decency should be the same for all persons regardless of gender, sexuality, caste, race, or any other category where differences may arise.
Hope this answers your question.
