Hey guys…so yea, I’m here to blog on the Indian gang rape.
Well, not really…stuff that. You think one blog is gonna change anything? Bollocks. I’m here cause I can’t take in the mind boggling hypocrisy and naivete around us. Can’t take it anymore.
1. Your protests won’t stop anything. To be honest, the things going on in Delhi and other cities are the biggest farce I’ve seen in my entire life. Indians need a reason to loot. You think that kid who is throwing stones at a five star shop, really cares or knows anything about women’s rights? You’re the biggest moron of the entire World then. Or maybe naive Western journos…who thought Arab Spring would be democratic. Anyway. Wanna stop rape? Fight. Learn self defense, take Karate classes. Carry mace, pepper spray, stun gun. Carry Swiss knife. Carry guns, if you have license. Fight to maim. Fight to kill. Women didn’t get voting rights all over the World by walking with a candle. They fought for it. Rape is much bigger issue. You’ve got a right to self defense under Indian penal code. Know the law. Use it.
2. Change the law on rape. Seven years prison maximum? Hahha! What a bloody joke! People in Indian villages want their daughters to marry their rapists! It’s a semi-feudal semi-medieval country. Money and Education didn’t change jack *beep*. India is no better than Afghanistan Taliban, when it comes to the mentality of villagers. Okay, not only villagers…ninety percent of males. Equality is not a concept here. Bollywood heroes are idolized on their innovative ways of basically harassing women on screen…and they call that wooing. Wooing, my *beep*. Class is something, Bollywood doesn’t know. Only way of getting Equality, get it enshrined in law. Force Politicians to amend constitution. Insert infringement of Right to Equality as a maximum cognizable offence, and not just a writ. Go to Supreme Court file a petition, they give Suo Motu verdicts on everything else…they can give one on this too. Use your rights, demand an amendment in Constitution…and force police and parliamentarians to work on your rights. Heard of Beate Sirota Gordon? Google her…read up. That’s how it is done.
3. Hang these rapists and murderers. Demand highest form of punishment. Deterrence works. This is not Norway, and let this not be Norway please…where they keep people like Anders Breivik alive in a taxpayer funded five star prison, which is better than my flat here in New Zealand. Hang those bastards from the nearest city square, from the highest public lamppost if needed. Screw propriety. Animals don’t/shouldn’t have human rights.
4. Call a spade a spade. This is not a Hindu Muslim thing. There was a Muslim man in Kolkata, a “left-liberal-progressive” city, who beheaded her sister cause she slept with a different man. Thirty years of communism did *beep* to change the mentality. It only radicalised people more. There’re Hindu Khaps, which are no better than Talibans. If you’re gonna fight against them, be prepared to fight against all of them. And yea, don’t vote politicians like this. Not just vote, ridicule them, humiliate them, make them retract their statement. Start up FB pages mocking them. Any politician, any party. Even people like Kejriwal and Anna Hazare who talks of cleansing society and defeating western influence. You’ve got a right to free speech and expression. Use it. I am not a feminist at all, I find them to be hilariously puerile…but if there’s one thing I agree with Feminists like Ruth Seifert it is this…men don’t rape for sexual gratification…they rape cause they get and like the dominating experience. It’s the mindset. Stop saying that women should be treated like “mothers, daughters and sisters”, cause that means prostitutes and strippers don’t have rights, and should be treated like *beep*. Ironic that Sri Ram Sene, or Amar Kranti Sene are protesting, as they beat up women who go to pubs. You are supporting their hypocrisy. Change your mindset, before you ask others to.
5. Finally…there’s a lot of interesting conversation going on around the comment boards. I read one in Huffington Post, where one Welsh lady said she won’t be in a “million miles to a Middle Eastern shithole like India”. Probably not a gold medalist in basic kindergarten Geography…but thankfully, we won’t ever have imbeciles like her visiting. We have enough imbeciles already. But that’s not the point. Point is, there is a lot of talk going on like “My country is better than yours”. If you face situations like that, arm yourself with stats. Slap those statistics and numbers in their face. Don’t start a debate about which country is better, but don’t take humiliation just like that. Be a mirror, make them see their own distorted face. Learn to give it back. Respectfully and politely ofcourse.
That’s about it…add your own in the comments…and share this list if you feel like it is worth. But remember, rights don’t come free. You have to fight and earn it.
” Do not go gentle into the good night…rage, rage against the dying of light… ”
God bless.

Feminism began in the 18th century with the belief that women should have human rights … I fail to see how this is “hilariously puerile”

It would take a full research paper, to establish why I find it hilarious and puerile. A lot to say. In short, 18th century feminism, if there ever was a concerted effort then, is not what Feminism is now. There are a lot inter-Feminism debates too. Left feminism is different from liberal feminism…etc.
Also, this post was not a debate on Feminism. The issue here is different.

I’d be interested to know why you feel it is necessary to attack women for not doing enough to prevent rape. “Wanna stop rape? Fight. Learn self defense, take Karate classes. Carry mace, pepper spray, stun gun. Carry Swiss knife. Carry guns, if you have license. Fight to maim. Fight to kill. Women didn’t get voting rights all over the World by walking with a candle. They fought for it. Rape is much bigger issue. You’ve got a right to self defense under Indian penal code. Know the law. Use it.” Same old argument isn’t it? Men will rape and it is a womans job to prevent it. Perhaps a post attacking men for raping and fostering attitudes that contribute to a culture that makes this stance seem viable is more in order. What happens when a woman defends herself and fails? That’s just bad luck it it? Because she didn’t carry enough weapons or fight hard enough? Rape is a male problem, it harms women, but only men can decide to end it and it’s about time some of you took action.

I really don’t know where to start. I wrote five points, and it is unfortunate that you decided to choose just one and commented on it.
Here’s a recap. I said hang those rapists. I am not blaming women for rape. I am saying they need to fight back, and stop acting all helpless. In that I am actually putting more confidence in their ability to fight back.
As of the attitude of men, first of all, not everyone is a chauvinist. Secondly, there would always be some people wit that kinda mentality, what do you recommend is to be done? Please don’t say educate them about equality and change their mindset. Some people won’t change, no matter what, they need to be punished. Which I recommended. Please recommend some active policy change instead of just blaming. I atleast tried.
Finally, I would advise you to read up more on Feminism, growth of feminism, and criticism. You could start by reading up on some scholarly journals, and literature.
Cheers!

Saying that they need to fight back? Are you implying that women do not defend themselves to the best of their ability when they are attacked? That is insulting and ridiculous. Rape is a life threatening experience people are not raped because they are “acting all helpless” or not fighting back correctly. Men are raped by other men … is this because they do not fight back correctly as well??
If you want to attack something here and make a real point then perhaps “the correct methods for fighting back when people attack you” is not a very good one.
Thanks for the “instructions” if only all women who have been raped had the chance to read this before the event … then they would have known how to fight back correctly.
