If this brutal rape case was the part of the God's plan and it was 'destined' to happen, I think we should now take atheism more seriously!-India Against stupidity. One of the most shambolic criminal acts of late has been the recent spate of rape's occurring in the country. In a country which prides itself in its ethos, not only is this despicable but utterly unpardonable. These incidents have increased in number over the past few weeks and have left a very uncomfortable scar. On deeper thought, there seems to be a deeper reason for such attacks. Delhi can be very cruel to women, especially single ones. You get used to the constant staring and to the unwanted comments. You almost get used to the occasional incident of groping and molestation. You also get used to every man, woman or politician – pretty much anyone with a mouth –giving you advice on what to wear, who to speak to, and which words to choose – all for the sake of your safety. The question remains there that why people behave in such a manner. Is it just a problem with socialization or human psyche?
While flirting with a girl, if she replies
positively ; "Man! She's an easy prey.” If she doesn't. "That bitch
has got attitude. Let me show her how mean I can be. For them if their gf
doesn't agree to get physical, they'd doubt her feelings. If she does, she isn’t
a marriage material. They are the same people who advocate male chauvinism.
They are the same people who would stop their daughter / sister from
befriending males and would try to woo other ladies all the time. Many
solutions can be put forward but most of them won't be effective enough
considering the current situation of our society. So for a change if you want
to do something worthwhile, I'd suggest to change the way they are bringing up
their child / brother.
-An ode of Indian hypocrisy.
I can answer one of the most awful questions a typical Indian is asking after this incident.
Ques) If you had a daughter and she was going to go out to a party with guys would you let her go out looking like a slut?
Ans) If the next generation has sons that are as repulsed by rape as they should be then we won’t need to worry about our daughter’s clothing. Hell, if we just make our generation shift the blame from the wounded to the executor and recognize rape as an act of violence rather than a natural hazard then we won’t even notice clothing. In fact the only way that I’ll need to worry about anyone’s daughter’s clothing is if society says this wasn’t apt. I’d perhaps end up doing something incredibly violent to somebody if anything ever happened to one of my loved ones and the system failed them.

So the question becomes; if you had a son and
he was going out to a party with girls, would you let him go knowing that one
of them could be my daughter and that if he ever touched her without her
consent I’d kill you?
You focus on raising a son that you can confidently send to a party even if you think that you will die if he inappropriately touches a woman and I’ll focus on raising a daughter full stop.
