2012 Gang-rape case
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_...gang_rape_case

What're your thoughts?

Its been proven that 2 out of 3 rape victims in India don't report it simply because they are afraid of getting embarrased or the police have discouraged them to.

Should there be stricter law in india regarding gang rape cases?
Should women have more freedom?
Should rape cases be punishable by a life sentence?

Stricter than what? Regular rape?

What's this got to do with women's freedom?

In western countries there's an extremely high volume of false rape accusations, so this seems ridiculous to any westerner.

Not sure the situation in India, it seems like women there are afraid to report it because they don't want to have to deal with the situation, they just want to pretend it never happened.

Seems like that is a cultural problem rather than a legal process problem if people just allow themselves to be raped and not report it.

That right there is why people become misogynist in America. That was off topic.

Regarding the rape cases. Rape is wrong on any acount, doesn't matter how you think you can justify it, it's still wrong. Any law making it stricter would just be redundant, because it will still happen and most likely women over there won't come forth with the claims anyways. If anyone watches ADoseOfBuckley he said once "Sorry guys, laws only stop the honest people"
But in all reality... I think I might be insane...
I don't really see how this is a discussion at all really.

Pretty much anybody who comes along and says something like "nah, the laws are fine as is," will pretty much get verbal backlash regardless of how rational they may present it.

As I'm almost certain people will misconstrue such an argument, dumbed down, as "rape is good hurr durr."


So I'm predicting a landslide support for the "rape laws need to be changed" side.

Rape is bad, punishment for it should be amplified I guess. (as long as it isn't some shit rule like "Anyone can be found guilty of rape and executed at will of the alleged victim", because that goes from 'help! [insert race] woman in trouble!' to 'a woman being accused of rape means she can basically kill anyone she wants because she is a woman'".

That's really meta yo.

In all seriousness, we could make this same cynical prediction about any topic. That doesn't make them any less important. Rape is a problem that is rampant in many parts of the world, why not discuss it?

So let's not make these assumptions and let the discussion play out as it may.

Not necessarily, as there can be a much more expanded discussion outside the OP's few questions.

I'll propose one.
Is the use of anti-rape devices justified? In what situations/countries?

But if that were the case all men would be dead and a good number of women would be too. I mean all men too, because for whatever reason when shit doesn't go a woman's way they take it the extreme. So having the option to kill someone because of the pre-tense they were raped. Men would be screwed and women would have no means of populating the Earth.

Anti-rape devices? I've honestly never heard this term... the best thing I got is women not dressing like sluts then wondering why they were raped to begin with.
But in all reality... I think I might be insane...
Anti-rape devices are, put bluntly, devices placed inside of a woman's vagina that will mutilate an intruding appendage, in case of rape.

UGH!!! D: I've only seen stuff like that in...... I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the fuck man ;_;

Anyways, I think that's good because those who do indeed do the raping. Don't really deserve a dick in the first place.

Why would anyone possibly oppose that?
