In reply to the discussion: India sentences four rapists to death. We should do the same. [View all]riqster
(13,986 posts)And I fully admit that I am not objective on the topic. I also said in my OP that I respect the opinions of those who disagree with me.
Anyone who has never been had someone violently assault them in such a manner is unlikely to fully grasp the enormity of such a crime. I was four years old in 1962 when it happened to me the first time.
Nothing was ever done to the perps who raped me. When I told the school nurse, I was later orally raped to such an extent that I required surgery. The surgeon looked the other way and wrote it up as correcting an "abnormality".
The same lack of justice permeates our institutions around the world. And the fact that it is so, 51 years later, proves that what we are doing to stop rape does not work. Simply continuing to do the same thing we have been does nothing but perpetuate the tacit endorsement of rape culture.
Instead of lobbing brickbats at those who disagree with you, perhaps you could offer alternative solutions when you don't agree with the ones presented. Just a thought.
