  Exactly, this kind of narrative is propaganda intended to make rape victims give up resistance.

  In some regards India is several centuries behind most of the rest of the world. Especially with regards to women’s rights. Though if I recall correctly forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.

    forcing a victim to marry her rapist is also a Christian/Jewish thing.

    It’s literally done in America today and used to justify having the legal age of marriage be under 18 in some states.

      I did not know that, but for some states it doesn’t really surprise me

      You’re right. As a millennial I sometime find it hard to realize that it was that bad here as well only quite recently.

    That affords people a level of planning I think is overly charitable.

      I know it goes against the circlejerk in some progressive communities, but most rich conservative media owners did not get to their position by lacking brainpower, their shortcomings tend to be more in the morals and/or empathy regions.

        I just think generally this kind of “propaganda” is produced because it reflects a well-entrenched view people genuinely hold. It’s like asserting that minstrel shows were produced as propaganda to keep black people subjugated by making people think black people are inferior. I think it’s much simpler than that - the people who commissioned such things were racist, so they made shows which depicted black people poorly. That had the effect of perpetuating racism, but it’s a stretch to say the perpetuation of racism was the motivation, rather than the enactment of racism.

        Same here, as I see it. The people who make such things are misogynists who believe in misogynist practices, so they make films which reflect those practices. I don’t see where there’s evidence for a conscious choice to do more than that.

      I looked it up for you.

      If a man finds a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and sleeps with her, and they are discovered, then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver and she must become his wife, because he has violated her. He may never divorce her as long as he lives.

        Thanks! Last book of the Torah/Old Testament. Messed up standard to set, at the least.

    Yeah, most parts of our country are really fked… I live in a decent little state called Kerala, but yeah, we’re one of the exceptions, not the norm.

  I believe it’s in the Christian Bible too.

  And people wonder why they like to pal around with American conservatives.
