Living in a developing country like India, I'm sometimes half-thankful that our police is inept... Isn't it great to be a man? [edit: I realize this flippant

Isn't it great to be a man?
[edit: I realize this flippant remark probably makes little sense for those who don't live in India. Ineffective policing is a very serious problem here, primarily for women. If I stay out late with a girl, it's almost automatic that I will escort her home regardless of the inconvenience to me. Black women often wear a keffiyeh at night to avoid racially motivated attacks. Physical security is a significant electoral issue.]
- Ntrails 12y agoIf anyone is unaware of the state of violence against women in India I can only assume they don't read a newspaper. There have been several front page stories in the last year or so. I think you make an important (if biting) point for putting the parent in some context.

That works for those holding on to even the lowermost rungs of the middle class. Below that the condition of women, oppressed by caste and class(not direct but still a strong co-relation), their plight is hellish to even think of.
