There have been protests in India this month because of the rape and murder of a junior doctor. This occurred inside the HOSPITAL!
The violated body of a junior doctor was found in a seminar hall at the state-run hospital, RG Kar Medical College on August 9th. A suspect, who has declared himself innocent, has been arrested and arraigned and is standing trial.
The rape and murder of a junior doctor sparked nationwide protests and walkouts by other junior doctors.
Their response? “There is a lot of pressure on others because manpower is reduced.”
This is the shittiest most tone-deaf response I have ever heard.
Why is the manpower reduced?
Because other junior doctors staged a walkout in protest of the killing of one of their own.
India has had several high-profile rape/murders in recent years. It’s as if the men who are doing the crime think that 1) what they are doing is no big deal and 2) they will not be found out. And 3) I can do what I want.
You know what we call that? Emboldened.
You treat women badly enough for long enough, troglodytes such as these perpetrators feel they can do anything they want.
When you are a woman, nowhere is safe.
