Another horrendous gang rape in India.

[MoonRiver]

Gang rape appears to be India's national sport. Any woman, or child, even if accompanied by a male companion, is at risk. This time a 22 year old female photo journalist on assignment was attacked.

1. Have any American women's groups spoken up about this horror?

Story makes me sick.

2. To me, what sticks out is that these are the actions of predatory packs of men

who are willing to attack strange women in groups or accompanied by men.

In the US, rape is usually by acquaintance and a crime of opportunity, behind closed doors, etc.

India's extreme misogyny has been a dirty little secret for a while now.

4. I've noticed that too.

Packs of cowards.

3. At this point, "appears to be" is putting it kindly.

And I'm sure there's loads more we hear nothing about. This is sickening.
