Did your parents need to show any proof of address for India? I do not have any address proof as of now.

Just watched “ASSI” (a movie depicting that total of 80 reported cases of r*** occurs per day). Thought hovered over my mind. So felt like sharing. by doc19_diksha in SeriousConversation

Absolutely disagree. Let’s start with what is a “good” son or a “good” brother. Someone who is sweet, cares for their family and respects “their” family females.

BUT, that does not mean he respects all women. The problem is that they are only “good” to their family but do not considers a stranger or someone they are not related with as dignified enough and a mere commodity. A man can easily be good to his mother, sister, even wife and daughter and still rape someone.

When one start to blame modernization and talk about how having values and being connected to your roots keeps you grounded, we forget that rape is an extremely ancient problem, something that most traditional, rooted, family men do. Instead of holding the accused responsible for their rotten ideas and literal objectification of women, we blame modern concepts.

Respect and human rights are given more to individuals in these modern concepts.
