In the view of all that happened ..... the write up, the outrage, and the subsequent 'mandavali'.....there is something I wanted to share

I have kept this thing on my desktop...as it is a reflection of what we face as women....no matter where we go, what we do, we are in danger, emotionally, physically etc.....so here goes.....credits to the author in the end

Rules for girls

Don't go out alone at night
That encourages men

Don't go out alone at any time
Any situation encourages some men

Don't stay at home
Intruders and relatives can both rape

Don't go without clothes
That encourages men

Don't go with clothes
Any clothes encourage some men

Avoid childhood
Some rapists are turned on by little girls

Avoid old age
Some rapists prefer aged women

Don't have a father, grandfather, uncle or brother
These are the relatives that often rape young women

Don't have neighbours
They often rape

Don't marry
Rape is legal within marriage

To be quite sure - DON'T EXIST!
