UI think it’s a known fact that there is no protection for males or male gender even transgenders under IPC or BNS for rape.
If there is no law then law must be taken in your own hands is my personal opinion. I cannot say that I have done so or not. But I don’t have a family or son so I cannot comment on the emotional state or predict the actions of such individuals.
But I can take another example. Suppose you are walking your dog, a female dog that you raised as a member of your family. She is friendly and non-aggressive as she lives with humans. Say that a stray dog who is vicious and territorial without provocation attempts to bite her while we are walking by sneaking up on her from behind. Technically there is no law against animals causing harm to other animals. Because they are animals. Which means if a stray dog comes and attacks you or your pet, tries to mount your pet and have unconsentual intercourse you cannot prevent it or do anything by law because animals are only protected from harm from humans and not other animals.
Question is, would you stand by because there is no law or kick and beat the shit out of the stray dog knowing full well that if someone complains against you for cruelty to animals it can be a big issue. The justification being that a companion dog is like a member of the family and a female at that so violence against her will be met with swift and harsh punishment without an iota of mercy irrespective of the species of the criminal and the mental capacity of the aggressor to interpret it’s actions as I am reacting as an animal would I will not think about consequences thereby equalizing the playing field for the aggressor animal. If it thinks it can charge and physically assault my dog or me, it’s life is at an end figuratively.As we increase the number of laws, the amount of corruption goes up. I’m all for gender neutral laws but in the society we live in, taking the law into your own hands has never been frowned up by society, only by the legal system. Even then they need to prove beyond doubt that the accused has done what he/she has done in case of harsher crimes.
One only needs to read the outcomes of rapes and gang rapes court cases and see how many of them are thrown out due to not having “stellar witnesses” or ample evidence despite knowing full well there is no other possibility. All court cases are public domain and available online.
Its not just a question of protection of men but if my son cannot defend himself in a situation then I will be forced to extract justice through punishment by other means. Myself if I am physically able or through solicited means.
Just because a guy in a black robe decides something should I consider justice done? Or is vengeance truly a form of justice since you were unable to prevent the crime in the first place.
I acknowledge the absence of protection of men and also agree laws should be gender neutral. But am I helpless because laws do not exist? I sincerely do not think so and never felt that way since I was born. Turning 40 this year.
