In Patna, one often sees a vehicle holding up traffic for seconds, to have a closer look at a girl walking past; the women are stared, whistled and commented at. Most parents dread to send their daughters unescorted to colleges.

But, at the inauguration of a seminar on the ‘Status of Women in Society’ in Gaya, concerns of Magadh University Vice-Chancellor Shamsad Hussain were ‘‘aggressive feminism’’. ‘‘Cautioning’’ the girls against aggressive feminism, the V-C said ‘‘too much talk of oppression and gender discrimination...was proving to be counter-productive’’. The fact is that nobody is talking — not even one per cent of the rapes get reported. A girl who dared to go to the police to complain of rape, was killed last month. No police action has been taken against the culprits so far. And all this happened in Chief Minister Rabri Devi’s constituency.


Sigh.

P’Tachk! Never mind aggressive feminism. These corrupt sacks of shit could use a little aggression in general directed against them from the general public.

Convicted criminals caught by the police getting hired into their ranks. A woman reporting a rape gets mysteriously killed. A repeat kidnapper lectures cops on how to run the business.

This smells of such blatant cross-the-board corruption so well entrenched in the system it makes Chicago of the 1930s look like paradise.

Of course they don't want anyone talking about oppression or gender discrimination. After all, they don't want you to "disappear" do they?

Trash.
