I've been to these kinds of villages, albeit in Maharashtra and MP rather than UP. When the rapist is in front of you, the police are hours away. There is no 911 you can call for an instant response, just giving cops directions to your location might take minutes.
(Western style addresses are not very common here.)
But yeah, let's let petty western ideologies (boo for guns and other cultural expressions of lower class whites!) stand in the way of women protecting themselves from gang rapes.
- Chris2048 10y agoWhat "petty western ideologies" are you talking about? It seems you are the one projecting western ideology. You think access to guns will be easier for female victims than male perps?
- summarite 10y agoThis... You're just going to up the crime rate. Easy access to guns is also working out so great for the US.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoYes, I think a weapon that requires no strength reduces the disparity between men and women. I think raising the risk of rape will cause some pervs to rethink - no matter how hot a woman is, is she worth a 20℅ chance of getting shot? Unfortunately, India currently believes only rich people and jewelry stores are worth protecting with guns. But I think the OP was advocating changing this situation.
- Chris2048 10y ago> Yes, I think a weapon that requires no strength reduces the disparity between men and women That wasn't the question. > raising the risk of rape Will it though? Or will it just change the way women are attacked?
