India is off the Richter scale in comparison to any issues here. I regularly go to India, the caste system is so ingrained into the psyche of the people on that continent it is hard to see it ever changing, women run real awful risks of violence and rape especially if found alone. And it is...

Also women could choose to use the gender neutral ones in the face of those bloody massive queues! :mad: When toilets are single cubicles though I see no reason why they shouldn't be unisex. At my significantly female dominated work the single male and female toilets are used like they're...

Homosexuals cried on the streets before the supreme court decision today, at what they consider to be devastating news indeed. I'm sure it's only 'technically' illegal, I doubt the cops will ever bother to actually prosecute any homosexualists or take the slightest interest in their activities...

It just gets more depressing in India:

No I'm sorry part of this is due to a fucked up notion of honour and treating women like shit as long as they are not your "sister", you get the same attiude with a lot of communitys/groups etc just not so extreme. Add a diffrence in race and they are the perfect other to be used without a...

Agee. I feel really lucky that I got to grow up back in the days when it was just a tattered old copy of some sticky magazine that the boys passed around at school. But the relevance of porn to this story is, maybe, slightly different to the general 'harmful effects on young minds' concern. I...

lets get this straight...your supporting the breaking of international law and the formalised sexual assault of a woman in the United states because other women are being raped in India youre a fucking tool, go fuck yourself

India certainly has big problems, not least with conservative (Victorian?) morality. When I lived there, many internet cafés had private computer booths where customers could surf porn sites and bang one off. Not really a good source of guidance for forming loving relationships. I gather that...

You could say that about English society although india does seem to have a serious problem with it - although I am not sure this would have been drawn to anyone's attention if women themselves haven't protested against it

And Jimmy Savile? Did his Catholicism and ethnicity play its part in his grooming and raping of children? What about Peter Morrison? How about Sidney Cooke, who was at the head of a massive grooming gang? This is about male power; patriarchy, if you will.

Maybe as a sideline, the Indian government will get a bit more pissed off about the widespread rape that occurs in India, with little in the way of consequences for the perpetrators.

I suppose many will have seen the news of the two Indian girls who were gang raped and then found hanging from a tree. When the father went to the police to ask for help he was asked what his caste was and then ignored. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-27639735

Why is his question ridiculous? The centuries to which PM referred were a period during which Islam was often geographically static or actually on the retreat, notably from Western Europe. Compared to the earlier period, there were far fewer conquests. Consequently, the Muslim law ‘of conquest...

Looks like the Indian govt held on to him. http://www.firstpost.com/india/french-diplomat-mazurier-officially-charged-with-raping-daughter-458633.html He said that he was framed.

I guess this seems like a good post to respond to to give my general thoughts bimble (which are close to yours I think) Bernie Gunther you've missed out 5 for some reason? Is it cos you are a dodgy liberal lefty and trying to cover it up? :hmm: For me, this is bits of 2 and 3, except that...

this is what they call 'throwing up sand' ^^^ it's designed to widen or confuse the subject by introducing a recently topical issue to cloud the exact details of the current situation.

ok. but this rather undermines your claims. you whine on about 'plunder' and 'booty' in cologne. but there was no plunder or booty (barring the unfortunate women's clothes, phones, wallets, etc). were any women abducted? your examples here make great play of this: have any women been 'led away'...

Alex Callinicos, perhaps the only Trotskyist in whom genuine Marxist activists in India find some ‘cultural’ affinity. Nothing to do with rape; it means they're all academics with aristocratic ancestors too...

Sure, but there is a big difference between aggravating factors and sentencing guidelines and Jean-Luc's assertion that somehow the SWP wasn't that bad because the rape they covered up was a 'less serious' type of rape than the recent cases of rape that have received media coverage in India.

did they cover up a rape? Think you need to get down to the police if you have evidence of that.
