Women in India

It is quite clear that women have little to no respect and rights in India. Whether this be because of religion, social standing, politics or whatever, this is an act of cruelty. In the article about if women dress sexy, then men will rape them is awful. The idea that being gang raped is suddenly being turned around on women is disturbing. It shows how terribly women are treated in this country. In this article, men believe that women should be home after 7pm, because if they are out later then that, they are "asking" to get raped. The men interviewed believed that if women get raped, some of the blame should be put on the women because of how they dress or how late they are staying out. Language plays a big role in this. One man said that all men will talk rudely to women, and if women are complacent and allow men to be rude to them, they wont get raped. However, if a women stands up for herself to a man, she is giving the man a reason to rape her. Now, women can of course exhibit more precaution (not walking around in the middle of the night alone), but the idea that they give men a reason to rape is ignorant and sick.
