according to the statements made by indian politicians, scientists, gurus and finally the lawyer defending those accused in the delhi gang rape it is increasingly clear that india has descended into an anarchy where men are allowed to punish women who are 'not respectable' by raping them and shoving objects into their vaginas.
beware women of india and beware women visiting india. you will be judged by these moral police on the street and if found 'not respectable' you will be dealt the fate you deserve.
for those who might want details of the statements made here is a list -

no - i think i got it wrong. i think what i am missing out here is that india has some new laws about women. let me strip apart the accused lawyers statement.
'The lawyer representing three of the men charged with the gang rape and murder of a medical student aboard a moving bus in New Delhi has blamed the victims for the assault, saying he has never heard of a “respected lady” being raped in India.'

ok, so when i carefully analyse his statement i see that he is not denying that the woman was raped and murdered by those men. simply saying that she was 'not respectable' so in this holy land that is india fit to be raped and murdered.
india surely must have these new laws that most of us women have not yet been told of. he is a lawyer right? he would be making statements based on legal knowledge?
he is also saying very clearly that all women raped in india are 'not respectable'. takes putting the raped victim on trial to a different level, eh?
i think he is also saying that all men who rape then are just doing society a favour by policing the immoral women of this sacred land. wow! don't we have the most moral and respectable men in our country? after all spare the 'rod' and spoil the woman!
but, contrary to what some say, these indian men are not unique, rather i believe that they are just saying aloud and very crudely what many men all over the world filter into themselves through the collective atmosphere.

but
i am shell shocked. something has been thrust into me and ripped out my intestines too. these men are raping all of us women with these statements. some part of me is dissolving into an internal anarchic state, destroyed and brutalised. this post has emerged from that damaged part of me, a part in deep pain. maybe sanity will return and another post more thoughtful will emerge. this is my process and this is where i am today.
