This board reeks of body fluids, the kind that oozes out when a female forgets to wear protective padding and sits in a chair, during her menstrual cycle.How cheap and tawdry can one get?.Yes, one can , and this essay is living proof of that.

Vijendra,
I had written something in haste and while reading I felt it conveyed negative thoughts about women. You have done a great job in highliting the plight and trauma of the rape victims. Rape becomes news when the animals are on the loose and infants, under age girls, invaids, mentally challenged become victims. Even the dead and octageneraians are not spared.
In Mumbai a similar creature was discovered in the uniform of a law enforcer. The only way to punish the rapist is to `hang them by the neareast lamp post` or incarcerate them in solitary confinement for ever.
In most other cases the crime does not get reported and the victim suffers in silence because the perpetrator is a relative or known closely to the victim. It is necessary to know why the intuition and defense of the victim has failed her. -Thomas

Do not forget that in totalitarian regimes where women`s rights are a mere token gesture on paper tiger constitutions, the internet and technology are often the only medium these women have to voiceferously air the injustices invoked upon them.

In a lot of dubious countries with politically pandering elites censor the media and abuse women, they cannot easily curb the internet, for the world wide web remains very hard to police, henceforth the evident lack of international protocol to monitor the internet.

this emancipated electronic universe often acts as a safety valve to women who have no other recourse for redressal. a mere post on the website of Amnesty International is all it takes to raise awareness.
