So often when I go to Yahoo I often see the most bizarre stories. Whether it's about Beyonce's latest outfit or something BS story. It appears that Yahoo and many other outlets like to put "shock" stories to grab the attention.
So it appears what better method than to constantly pick stories about rapes in India. I understand it's not Yahoo but sources like AP and others actually report the news but the point still stands. By establishing a theme, that rapes occur soooo often in India, they can keeping on adding on to this.
But please guys, come to grips with reality. India is no worse when it comes to rapes than many other countries. It's not India that has led the world in portraying women as sexual objects - it is only following the example set forth by the West. I will say that India has a lot of issues but these don't only apply to India. It applies to everyone - you, me and the various countries we live in.
Don't go around bashing a certain country because it suits your agenda or because its convenient. (Or go and do it, it's up to you). You're not looking at the entire picture if you do that. So look at reality. How many rapes happen every day in almost every country in the world? I'm sure there is plenty of violence involved. Yet, these don't get covered in the media.
Just look at these figures:

It seems like the West has a lot of work to do itself. But it's way more convenient to pick on some other country and shift attention their way.
