You Couldn't Pay Me Enough To Be A Woman In India...
Not in dollars, rupees, lira, nothing. No. Fuck No.

Today, CBS news has broken the story of a 20 year old woman in New Delhi being gang raped, then led naked through the streets after having her head shaved so she could be further shamed and humiliated.
Leading this woman was a group of women, family of the rapists. Let me explain.
A teenage boy developed a fascination with the woman. She’s married, has a child, she did nothing to deserve this kid following her around, begging her to leave her husband, basically pestering her every day all day. She rejected him, he killed himself.
So the family is now in a full fledged assault against the woman, saying she is at fault for the boy killing himself. How the fuck they came to this conclusion speaks to both the mental welfare of the whole fucking flock, and the sense of entitlement that men have to just take whatever woman they choose in that climate.
After threatening the woman several times, they decided the best course of action was to have her gang raped, shave her head, and lead her through the streets while making a spectacle of her naked, ravaged body.
What the fuck is really happening over there?
This isn’t the first of this type of incident: this is part of a wave of crimes involving raping and shaming women publicly in India. This is apparently trending over there, and is the way you deal with women you have issues with in India.
Remember when I put the list out of the Top 5 Places You Don’t Want To Be A Woman? This is nearly as bad as Honduras having only 3 rape shelters, 2 of which double as brothels. This is bad. This is so fucking bad.
When rape is considered a way of solving your issues with the way a woman behaves, you’ve crossed a fucking line involving the humanity of everyone involved. There is a reason rape is a war crime. There is a reason rape is considered one of the worst crimes you can commit.
It’s because it is. It’s the worst thing you can do to someone. And these fucking Bozo’s in India are doing it for sport, talking among themselves about it, plotting and scheming on it.
This is so fucking disgusting. Horrifying. Ladies, do not visit India. Do not buy products made in India. Do not support this type of systemic abuse of women. You can bet your fucking ass if it comes from India, it’s not coming into my house.
Fuck this. If they can’t speak humanity, talk to them in words they understand. Money. Dollars and cents.
If it is from India, don’t support it. Make this shit matter, and stop funding the abuse of women.
If we lived in a sane world, the rapists would be the ones publicly shamed (arrested/sent to the chair), when they dragged <i>their victims</i> through the streets. I’m so glad my cousins (their mother is from India), only rarely visit. And the female relatives of the rapists leading the way? I mean what the actual fuck?
Any luck with the Saudi contacts? It occurred to me my dad might know someone that has to maneuver around crazy laws. He’s traveled in that area for business, and I know he has female colleagues… although now that I think of it, those stories only mention men. Gee, I wonder why.
When I first read that about Honduras in your article, three rape shelters, two of which double as brothels, I was nearly sick. It’s nauseating to think about… We need to rescue all the women, and all the dogs, and put them to work taking care of each other on a giant ranch.
