Last evening at cafe i read a short story in Eenadu Vasundhara. Its about a village boy who meets a 'modern city girl' at a street protest against Delhi Gangrape incident.
Later he finds out that, she has many boy friends. Then he realizes that she is kind of a play-girl. And the story ends with questioning the integrity and morals of the girl while participating the protest against rape.
Though the author is a lady ( May be its a pseudo name), i would not mind to knock her on the head and explain her about rape from a feminist point of view. And the editor who accepted that story to get printed deserves a slap on the face.
Do people think that , rape victims suffer because they lost virginity or they are forced to participate in sex which they hate? According to feminist philosophy, rape is not about sex, its about power. Imagine , you are a good host and you have lot of friends. You invite friends to your home for dinners. One day a stranger enters your home and demands a meal. Would not you be offended ? Its not that you are not good host. Its about someone making you do things against your "Will" . If you do not appreciate intrusion in to your home, then imagine how helpless and humiliated the rape victim would feel.
The conversationalist view of rape always places blame on the girls. And according to those dumb heads, being raped can be avoided by wearing traditional clothes and by not using mobile phones. If there is a good, he must save us from people like these.
