V interesting blog on the subject

I don't get rape, but gang rape even less

That's horrible, that poor young woman. Because they wanted some fun?? Sick bastards.

[SrirachaGirl]

Just saw this too. . No words.

I feel the same Pacific. How can a group of people decide to do such a terrible thing?

Pacific Dogwood, have you read 'Against Our Will'?

[QueenOfCats]

I read that story and it made my stomach turn. That poor, poor woman

[PacificDogwood]

joan, no I haven't - can you link?

Do you think the large number of rapes/sexual assaults in Delhi (which no doubt will be hugely underreported) are a reflection of patriarchy feeling threatened by womanhood being poised to assert itself??

I am clutching at straws, aren't I ?

So, so sad

[Flatbread]

RIP, Braveheart. The men who did this to you have no right to live. So, so angry and sad about this...how can anyone be so brutal?

[tribpot]

Another completely avoidable tragedy. Another life lost. And how many more lives will be blighted by living in fear of this happening to them, too, if they dare to go out alone?
