rape: losing face and self-respect

the issues are physical and
political occupation
of inclusion and exclusion
compulsion and penetration

if men are ever shorn of their
dignity, see how red they turn
in righteous indignation

sending sms barrages
of momentary agitation
are self-defeating delusions
until another rape, violation

wonder if the solution
lies in that man's castration

dee:

thanks for your comments as i said on the other board:

imho the solution should encompass all of the following:

* updating legislation

* rigid enforcement (and that would necessitate police and court reforms)

* awareness (education - educating both the society and the individuals)

* treatment (of the mindset and condition - castration that i hinted it could be an option - let me add -- castration is misunderstood very much as a treatment - it conjures up bloody images ---it is not necessarily so))

* establishing nation wide crisis and help centers -

arey itna ghussa:)

for first time offenders that would be rather harsh

perhaps psychiatric assessment and treatment and Depo Provera doses?
