		<description>Janeway says: &quot;The word “rape” is in the title of this essay, troll.&quot;

I thought it was a haiku. As a man, I was too busy pondering on the subject of rape really not being a big deal to laboriously read every word of a blog&#039;s title.

Also, you should look up the connotation of &quot;troll&quot;. It doesn&#039;t mean what you think it means.</description>

		<description>Men in my country do have a different attitude towards rape. Well, most of them. I have encountered this cavalier attitude frequently whether discussing it with random village folks n rural areas or in the uber-urban environment.
It&#039;s as though rape is a mere sport to exert machoness.
Thats a FACT.
Yes, I agree with you say - Rape in all forms must be stopped.
But what am talking bout in the article is the fact that in the case I ve mentioned, the culprits were charged merely with a &quot;molestation&quot; offence.
Not acceptable.</description>

		<description>The word &quot;rape&quot; is in the title of this essay, troll.

But I also disagree with the idea that men cannot understand rape. I think men pretend not to understand rape, because weighing the terror and suffering it inflicts on the victims is &quot;emasculating.&quot;

After our divorce, my first husband wound up in prison (if you are wondering abbout it - he did earn his stay). I saw him many many years later after his suicide attempt. His parents had him put up in a &quot;nice&quot; institution (as nice as those places can get), where I visited sometimes. He was a liar and a cheat, stole people&#039;s money, but he didn&#039;t deserve what he got in prison, he wasn&#039;t a violent man, just very immature and used to tricking people through his good looks..women always spoiled him, me included.

What I&#039;m trying to say is that male-on-male rape is a problem (the editor of this site talks about it in her more personal writings), and it brutalizes our society and turns more men into criminals who then take out their rage on women. 

We must stop rape in all of its forms. It&#039;s destrying people and families. Rape and violence almost destroyed the man I used to love (no matter how young and dumb I was then, I could tell the real thing from a crush). He didn&#039;t deserve it and nobody else does either.</description>

		<description>&quot;Rape is the one of the most toxic crimes invented by humanity and somehow people (read: men) cannot fathom this.&quot;

You know something? You&#039;re exactly right. I was reading this entire article wondering to myself &quot;when do the atrocities happen?&quot;

Imagine my displeasure when I reached the end to discover that all this ruckus was only about rape. After all, as no man has ever had to deal with rape (on either the personal level or through a relationship), I personally think that you are exaggerating an ordinary occurrence in the hope of finding something, anything, to be outraged about, so that you can be the center of attention. How just like a woman.

Please let me know when a major crime takes place, such as football being preempted, or the outlaw of hair regrowth formula.</description>

		<description>Kill them all. 

I don&#039;t mean to sound synical, but there is nothing in this world, short of painful death, that could be considered punishment enough for these men.

Heck, I would gladly pull the trigger.</description>

		<description>I partially agree with you@ state&#039;s tyranny.
However, the argument is not just whether more people should have been hanged but why were almost a dozen others left scot free. And pivotal charges were thrown out of the court.
Also, certain ethical/political issues need to be magnified or amended keeping in mind the sheer bestiality of a particular situation and a particular region. 
In India, these incidents are dime a dozen and hardly ever see any legal light.
I think I was utterly angry when I first read about it and wrote about it and obviously wanted death for all those who were responsible.
I have revised that stance though I can&#039;t say that I oppose capital punishment completely.</description>

		<description>I agree with Rich. For true justice, the men should have been pinned to the ground, chilli powder thrown in their eyes, and gang-raped on national television so the whole country of India could watch them weep and scream and beg for mercy. Especially their fathers.</description>
