Isnt there anything we can do to raise our voice as citizens of this country? Although violence is wrong I do remember reading this as a famous quote of the father of non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi. He says,"Women, use the weapons you are born with. Use your nails, teeth and strength to prevent violation of yourself." How do we know what countries and policies are backed by the U.S govt.?

There are those out there who are afraid with good reason to rock the boat. That does not mean that i think that we have to stand by and do nothing it just means that we have to realistic about our expecatations and what we aim to accomplish.

I applaud Ina for voicing her feelings and she's right, we all need to do at least something to fight back at this. You go Ina!

Doesn't anyone value the sanctity of what a real and loving relationship is supposed to be about? Why are more people not outraged that women in so many parts of the world continue to be treated as possessions instead of people with feelings? This is one of the few things I have ever read that has really propelled me to take action but I am getitng on the phone bwith my US congressmen and senators offices today to protest and demand that complaints be filed immediately. It may not do any good but if more people do this then hopefully the country can say loud and clear that we will not support this and that the rest of the world cannot either.

And for the Rapist, they really need therapy and I'm not sure if that would help them unless they wanted help, but eventually I wonder if they will fall back to who they are.

This was an eye opener and hope that as hard as it may be, that women as well as men, stand up and not let the rapist take control. We need to report such things and not let fear control us.
