Re: PMLN MNA’s sons booked over rape charges
What are you even on about?
Can you please stop making wily nilly circular excuses as an attempt to distract focus on Nawaz League’s abuse of power? Just to save the skin of a deeply and visibly corrupt party that you happen to support, you are willing to tarnish the entire ‘society’ as defenders and apologists for rape. Either it’s cheap political mudlsinging or blaming the entire society, but not a single word to condemn the rapists (whoever they are) and the tragic denial of justice? You may find that large part of Pakistani society disagrees with your blame game, and self pleasing nihilism. They the people want to see justice prevail, they have morals, they are not apologists for rape, they condemn rape, they see rape as a savage crime against women, they do not want to side with oppressors, they do not want to see criminals to go scot free, they have no sympathy and support for leeches who abuse the system and their powers. They want to clean their system of nasty pullulating vernim.
Rape is systematically under reported in Pakistan due deeply entrenched culture taboos - one of them being culture of shame and honour. Yes, we know that. But in this case, the victim came forward, identified the rapists, filed an FIR, undertook medical examination which proved she was indeed raped. So I fail to see the logic behind needless tossing around of the idea of honour killing has anything to do with a victim who despite suffering from extreme emotional, physical and psychological trauma was still brave enough to file the case and demand justice? By slyly bringing in the idea of honour and shame, you are actually perpetuating the social evils that are always brought forward by a design to intimidate, ridicule and dismiss the victim.
Yes, but I agree our society is full of low life odious hypocrites and misogynists who get far more animated and offended over mere rumors about someone’s bedroom life and fatwafy it is great national shame over rape. Most of the time you cannot even get those phony opportunistic and hypocrites to condemn rape and call it a crime.
