-Drives home the fact that since the crime is not gendered, the solution shouldn't be...
-I'm not exactly a fan of cricket per say, however I get where your coming from. In terms of showing the extremists that they haven't affected our way of life, your right, that does make sense and sends a strong message.
-However, the fact remains that such exercises only serve as diversions...
-Agreement on the "media mafia" which loves to deflect every time when the criticism is on them.
-However, the analogy made is actually quite accurate. Where are we when it comes to income, education, health, living conditions, cleanliness etc. ? Hiding behind "breaking unity" is another way...

and that warrants threats of sexual assault/rape/ death etc. ?
Better countries take notice, vehemently track and take action on online threats of bombs etc. Those threats no matter how trollish are and should be taken seriously. However, when it's an individual we just fold our arms and go ...
Because I'm sure, she was not aware of those threats being leveled against those people. Bringing up other rape threats and death threats as an argument against people who criticize rape and death threats .... like do you really think their answers would be any different based on the individuals...
-Did you read the thread? If you didn't, do read the result which alludes to the fact that the social acceptability of criminal behavior against men is practically that of 19th century slavery. Heck, people come up with reasoning as to why that is totally fine. Just read up your own response...
-Nope, It isn't exactly the discussion of first world problems when with the exception of two stories, every other happens to be one on the suffering of a Pakistani dude.
-Secondly, while talking about basic rights of a person, let's not forget that this thread more or less proves that that...

How is it not the same ... Both involve forced/ UNWANTED sexual contact. If your line of argument is that "most men want it" then like I've stated before, research literature is present that states the same for women ...

"Misogynist =a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women."
If you missed my original post, along with you and spring onion, there just happened to be a list of 11 DUDES who were at the receiving end of some harsh words as well for their pathetic responses on the...
Me = Misogynist for believing sexual assault victims should be empathized with, taken care of, given justice to, no matter the gender, cast, creed and color.
Oh and I've had my heart broken by a girl.... something I didn't knew until you told me ... :D
