or decency in them.

Are those who are able to conceal their true sociopathic selves with a veneer of normality. And unfortunately, it is quite true that some sectors of Indian society all too often willing to dismiss rapists as perfectly average and upstanding citizens, even though they're hardly either(but then again, American society isn't immune from this, either, I'm afraid.)!

I applaud Leslie Udwin's attempts to help bring about change, not just for India, but the world at large.

While some over-privileged guys may be tired of being hassled over "Feminism", feeling oh so self-righteously Neutral Point of View in declaring themselves to be "Humanists", the fact is that women still have special problems that need to be addressed. This is especially true when you consider the position and progress of women on a global scale.

As long as women must deal with global sex slave trafficking, honor killings, consequence-free rape - then there should be an interest in Feminism to promote study, drive policy, and provide a vision of progress.

The attitude of the Delhi rapist should be argument enough.

so incomprehensible to me. No guilt whatsoever. All blame on the woman he took part in killing.

Hopefully he won't leave prison outside of a box.

But as you said this isn't just a problem in India. This ass just takes the idea that women owe men sex to a terrible extreme, but it's really just a continuum that date rapists use.

so your hope (and mine) will likely come true.

The good news out of this, I think, is that his despicable attitude, and casual willingness to voice it even in the face of his death sentence, will bring this issue out into the open for discussion and to be addressed head on.

Amazing that in the face of his death sentence, he hasn't learned a thing.

That anyone could believe this about another human being.
