As opposed to... what?  Pleading lying back and thinking of Vishnu?

QuoteThe attorney representing three men charged with gang rape and murder in India told an interviewer that the woman who died and her male companion were to blame for the attack, which took place on a moving bus in New Delhi, according to a report published Thursday.

"Until today I have not seen a single incident or example of rape with a respected lady," Manohar Lal Sharma said, according to the Bloomberg report.

Wow.

Quote"Guilt is not one-sided," Indian spiritual leader Asaram Bapu, told followers earlier in the week, adding that if the woman had pleaded with her six attackers in God's name, and told them she was of the "weaker sex," they would have relented, Reuters reported.

Mohan Bhagwat, a conservative pro-Hindu politician, weighed in with his view that rape occurs only in Indian cities, because women there adopt western lifestyles, but not in rural India.

But that view is contradicted by data, Reuters reported, citing the National Commission for Women, which has documented a pattern of gang rape and sexual humiliation of lower caste women in rural India.

Sadly, as barbaric as this all is, it's still not that much better here.

Well, the police here will at least accept a complaint of rape, which is often not the case in India.

On the other hand, the GOP doesn't sound much different than the jackasses I just quoted.

This religious leader is a real gem.

Read down to "controversies".

Ew.

I am 100% in favor of this.

Well, sure.  ANY assault justifies self defense.  I can't see how rape wouldn't be included.

That is, if your culture makes ANY claim that women are actual human beings.  And if it doesn't, then to hell with it.

I'm gonna qualify that:  The fact that people are spazzing the hell out over it, and that it's getting too loud to be ignored, means that while it may be a wretched place, it may not remain wretched for long.

Also, hell yes.  3" knives for everyone.

I also hope this has an effect on their caste system.

I could be wrong here, but every instinct I have says that if you're about to get raped, stomped or otherwise brutalized, pleading will get you fucking killed.
