The problem is disproportionate and that's why you have so many Indian people in india struggling with the issue and protesting it vehemently, leading even changes in the law. Trivializing their efforts and saying the issue is just the same in America, is both retarded and a disservice.
Any reasonable person would agree that India is more misogynistic, patriarchal and has more sexual harassment in general. The problem is claiming that the rapists represent Indian men, which is patently false, is racist and does nothing to further debate. The problem can be discussed without antagonizing men, very easily, so that comment sections everywhere aren't filled with men on the defensive, and everyone is focused on the problem. The dishonesty is coming from both sides.
It's not even about the number of sexual assaults its about the attitude, law, and condoning by SOME (read : not all.)
This is an oversimplification of a huge and complex problem that only retarded people use. The reason why our society is producing sociopaths like delhi rapists is more complex than "people condone rapes". These people were home runaways, past criminals and social outcasts. They had shitty childhoods themselves. Moreover majority of rapes are domestic and from known relatives, these cases are aberrations.
The statistics provided don't show anything that you are trying to say they do, in any way shape of form. They are completely statistically invalid for this issue and that is plainly obvious. Why would you look at the total number of incidents of x occurring to British tourists in Spain vs india? More incidents in Spain just means there's more Brits going there than India, something also obvious if you know anything about europe and/or geography. Misconstruing that to serve some other meaning is dishonest and very biased, because its clear as day that it would take bias alone since there's nothing to honestly get out of the data.
You should try to use at least a little of your brain and see that by disproportionate I have already accounted for the difference in number of travelers. There are more than 13 times British travelers in spain in comparison to India, and about 13 times the reports of sexual assaults as well. It's only slightly more, and it is obviously not disproportionate. While other countries like Egypt have grossly disproportionate number of sexual assaults in comparison.
People in the country are trying to get more attention and create alarm on the issue of sexual assault in India. International pressure helps. There is no need to falsly create a victim that needs defending in India's reputation as a country with sexual assaults, as there is far greater issues, and further, its counter productive for those greater issues when you support the spread of misinformation.
I agree. Pressure helps. And I am very much a part of change. In fact I am pretty sure I do more than you (I am associated with two NGOs for which I can even provide you with proofin PM if you care so much) BUt not with lies and propaganda. Which is what you insist on doing.
