An Indian politician has described rape as a social crime, saying “sometimes it’s right, sometimes it’s wrong” – even as the country continues to reel from the brutal gang rape and hanging of two teenage girls. “This is a social crime which depends on men and women. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong,“ said Gaur, the home minister responsible for law and order in the BJP-run central state of Madhya Pradesh. And Gaur’s comments are just the latest in a series of controversial remarks made by Indian lawmakers. In the recent election, Mulayam Singh Yadav, head of the regional Samajwadi Party that runs Uttar Pradesh, criticised legal changes that foresee the death penalty for gang rape, saying: "Boys commit mistakes: Will they be hanged for rape?" Gaur expressed sympathy for this viewpoint – but the BJP dismissed his comments as an expression of his personal views, and not the party's. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/indian-politician-says-of-rape-sometimes-its-right-sometimes-its-wrong-9494981.htmlThey seem to have a real problem.... |

Someone needs to take the "Indian Politician" by the hand and lead him into the 21st century. rape is always wrong.....except to a certain type of man...the man who see women as a means to an end..or of no value except as serf like creatures to cater to every whim of their lords and masters ..the men don't even have to be mysoginists they don't even have to think about the rights and wrongs so indoctrinated are they in their supremacy from the day they are born |

Someone needs to take the "Indian Politician" by the hand and lead him into the 21st century. its not the hand I would be taking him by....  Have you ever heard the song, "Flinty Kind of Woman", by Dar Williams? I'll see if I can find it later. And mouse, I wasn't suggesting being gentle with him but simply commenting that attitudes have changed a great deal over the years .. even in the west. lol ... I lucked out. You'll need the lyrics. www.metrolyrics.com/flinty-kind-of-woman-lyrics-dar-williams.html |
