Gang Rape, how does it affect young girls and women.

It is considered murder now because she died. I suggest death by castration, followed by stoning. Go back to the old ways people!

 

I really wish Damini could RIP, but she will never feel peace. I was so heartbroken to see a news like this. She communicated with her mum (while she was in ICU) saying she wants to take shower for years in order to wash away the inhuman touches by the animals. God should bring the 6 animals to burning hell!

"Don't tell your daughter not to go out; tell your son to behave properly."

 

The old ways teach both of those.

 

It's not just women who are raped. It happens to men as well.

 

True but we have other threads about rape in general. The OP and title of the thread specifically indicates that the original poster only wanted to talk about how rape impacts female humans.

(Sidenote: Although I will admit the title kinda begs the common sense answer: They're traumatized, often, but not always, physically harmed to varying degrees duh!!!)

 

You would be surprised at how many people were never told that it's wrong to have sex with someone that doesn't want it.Given all of the discussion of the gang rape victim in India, I can tell you that many Indian families don't educate their kids on sex and healthy relationships. My family is the type that thinks that women should just put up with abuse to protect family honor and reputation. Men are allowed to get away with everything. It's just how it is. I'm sure some Western parents don't educate their kids either.

Talk to your kids about sex. Tell that that they have the right to say no. That not all men are sex-crazed pigs or that pressured sex is just a typical man thing. I was disturbed at a woman that said "I wouldn't fault a man for pressuring you into sex, because it's what men do."

Huh? All of the men I've asked say they're repulsed by the idea of trying to force someone that's not interested. They feel that the whole point of good sex is when two people want it. I refuse to believe the idea that all men get off on pressuring someone into sex.

 

Yeah it's pretty sad.

But it's also important to look at other cultures, like India's, and look at other aspects that get mixed into sexual views of a specific region.

For example a lot of Polynesian cultures accept behavior, that most 1st world countries, would consider abusive, manipulative, and sexually deviant. Which it may very well be, but the people in that region (both male and female) have accepted it as "just the way things are" and it's even become part of the social hierarchy.

You see elements of that type of thinking in our own 1st world culture, but there is a much more visible fight against that type of thinking.

Your family Amethyst_Bliss, seems to be a perfect example of those with that type of ideology leftover from the past. (the family honor thing for example)

Hopefully this will continue to change for the better as years pass.


Also in response to your last paragraph I think it's important to acknowledge that some guys who end up committing rape, don't actually believe they committed rape themselves. It's such a problem culturally that they can't even see what they did wrong.

 

My family is getting much better now, because I kept standing strong on how I felt about these issues. I have definitely hear ignorant comments in America too.

I agree that most rapists and sexual predators are in denial. Very few will say "Yes, I forced her into having sex."
