I wish their was some way to laugh about this tragedy, like gallows humor, because all this shit is starting to get to me, and I have trouble laughing when I'm enraged.

I’m not (and won’t ever be) advocating for rape, but I do have to admit I’m curious what would happen to the views of the men pushing this in India if their wives ever forced them into non-consensual sex.
