Women's rights or some fundamental human wrongs
Here is an interesting bit in English from the BBC blog of the Pakistani rape vicitm Mukhtar Mai: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5370192.stm and a darker part 2 continues http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5371904.stm.
Equality... hmm it is perhaps an over-rated concept... Much like true democracy? Makes me wonder. And it makes me wonder even more why so many people who are well off, and live in absolute abundance compared to the majority of poor people in the third world start noticing and caring how to improve vices and right the wrongs only after they had happened. It's exactly like putting on the umbrella after the rain has fallen. It is becoming rather widespread as if it is a fashion trend or something... It is good to prevent future wrong doings, but by starting to care only when it is too late it seems as if people are trying to say "hey look, we are doing something, we are not guilty that we didn't take good care for soemthing not to happen"
Sadly rapes are happening in the developed nations as well. Reading some of the comments made after part 1 of the English blog made me go "wow"... Nicole yeah do well in that business, America is great, no problemos what so ever, no rapes, safety is best of course, with social welfare out . The comments on BBC give you a good insigh on the diversity of people, much like a real society (where there is internet), shows you as well the biased, the wrong and confused people :D
Needless to say what Mukhtar is doing deserves universal approval. Unfortunately though I think that this problem lies much deeper in the human race. Men has been physcically the stronger half of humanity. And men use their mere brute force on women, the physically weak ones, for their own desires. Not right... but this has been so for ages. The strong forces down the weak and makes the weaker do what the strong wants. The rule of the jungle. The strong survives. And the weak disappears. The problems of the weak become its own, while everyone minds the strong. But let's not confuse that the mere physical force is the good and the just but let's judge the deed behind the action (even though you could say "no good deed goes unpunished")... This is what is hard, but wouldn't that show an evidence of the advancement achieved by the human kind from the ancient times and perhaps using our mind to resist the instant, animalistic force for the reasonable will that not set us apart from the dark jungle and isn't that what makes us humans?
