Banning Mannequins Wearing Bras to Deter Rape in India

After months of gruesome news of rape in India, the world’s largest democracy is still struggling to stop violence against women. Delhi passed stricter nationwide penalties for rape, and local governments are looking for their own ways to address the problem. Mumbai, India’s financial capital, is taking it’s own controversial step. The city plans to ban mannequins from displaying lingerie.

*snip*

At least that’s how it seems to 39-year-old Ritu Tawde. She is a “corporator” for the city of Mumbai. It’s kind of like being a city councilor. The now-infamous Delhi gang-rape that took the life of a 23-year-old student last year jolted Tawde into action. “Rape cases in our country are increasing,” says Tawde. “To stop this, somewhere someone has to make an effort.”

Tawde blames some rape cases on mannequins exposing so much skin, albeit fake skin.

“Our Indian culture, one that has been around for many years, has not witnessed this kind of exposure,” she says. “There are certain disturbed minds in our society, existing or potential criminals, who upon seeing a female mannequin wearing lingerie, will be provoked to commit a crime.”

2. She needs educating.

I guess it's pretty common for people to think of rape as a crime of lust, or passion.

Oy.

3. Blame anyone or anything except the men who rape

Pretty much sums it up.

4. So...Those filthy-minded, tempting, Sexy, alluring mannequins are at it again.

"criminals, who upon seeing a female mannequin wearing lingerie, will be provoked to commit a crime.”

7. It is the mannequins fault. If only they hadn't done those mannequin-ly things they did.

The poor men, driven to crime by the evil mannequins.



Jesus, Mary and Frank. Why can no one, anywhere, simply say, "the rapist is a piece of shit acting of his own volition?" There always has to be some reason to prevent the rapists from having to feel bad about themselves.

5. the solution is a bullet to the groin of the rapist..

No medical intervention after that...he should be just left alone in the company of flesh eating maggots.


Oh the trial should be quick and the burden of proof should lie with the accused rapist rather than the state..

6. Start cutting off penises and testicles of convicted rapists, and....

...you'll get to the, um, root of the problem........jus' sayin........

8. castration wont cut it ( pardon pun) .. as these bastards

can use use other objects ( broom handles, metal rods) to rape a person ..

Rape ain't about sexual gratification - it is about imposing power over a physically weaker person...


the society needs to pay back using the same coin and make them feel sorry - very sorry indeed.
