The World and The Guardian

I think the language in India really reinforces the gender roles in place in that environment. I believe that the men and women ther have been told the same thing by everybody. Such as girls are supposed to be shy and quiet and feminine or that if they are out past 6 they'll be raped. Theses are repeated messages that are told to every boy and girl while they are growing up. Also through out The Guardian, the phrases such as "men can't control themselves" and "men are going to rape if girls are pretty" that's obviously not a normal way of thinking. There is a such tng as self control. These men have been told that they can't control themselves when they see a pretty woman so they believe they can't control themselves and use that as an excuse for rape and sexual abuse. Which is wrong. It was very irritating and appalling to here that the men in this country can simply say, "she is dressed to slutty, therefore,I could not control myself." Obviously you could, you just chose to try and get off by forcing yourself upon this girl who tried to look nice and then was out past six. It isn't a free for all, the way language gas influenced this society specifically is sickening. It makes my blood boil to hear these guys spewing these to make it sound like they had no choice and that instinct just took over, that is wrong. You obviously have some conscious level that what you're doing is wrong and abusive and violating. I just ant believe that these people have been so brainwashed that they believe that if a girl is out past six and dressed nicely then she is at fault for getting raped or abducted.
