| It's time to talk about consent |

| [GEO.TV] Pakistain has an extremely high rate of rape cases, according to somewhat ’unreliable’ statistics gathered on the topic. The problem in putting together ’reliable’ statistics is based on the issue of what laws are in place in the country, how many rapes are reported, how many incidents of sexual assault are classified as rape, and other similar factors. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... We do know that in Pakistain around 10 rape cases are reported daily, and out of these cases, only 77 percent of those accused are convicted.The PTI government had put forward a plan to deal with rape; with the PM calling for the chemical castration of rapists. The provision for legal chemical castration was, however, taken back by the government after the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) said that such punishment was un-Islamic. We do not know why the prime minister had not properly researched before putting out his frequently repeated opinions that chemical castration is the best way to deal with rapists. Chemical castration is a process which induces large amounts of a female hormone ’progesterone’ into the body, reducing a man’s ability to carry out any kind of physical sex. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... it does not prevent assault in other forms and can have extremely serious side effects, including the development of feminine features in the man and acute depression. For this reason, it has been described as an unacceptable punishment by In Pakistain, we need to understand that rape is not a sexual offence as such, but an exhibition of power over a weak person. This is perhaps the reason why even five-year-old girls are rape victims. The frequently given assertion that women’s clothes, for example more revealing clothes, ’tempt’ men in some way to rape them is ludicrous and is not backed out by scientific evidence anywhere in the world. It is also true that rape cases are not limited to Pakistain. Botswana recorded the world’s second-highest number of rape cases in 2020. This figure also changes as it depends on how the crimes are counted. Pakistain has to figure out a way to deal with the problem. Women and child’s rights activists, such as those who organise the Aurat March, condemn chemical castration and describe it as an inhumane form of punishment. The answer lies in teaching men about consent, the importance of moving ahead with any gesture or association only when there is full consent, and empowering women to report rape far more frequently. Women should also be encouraged to carry pepper spray, as has become more common in neighbouring India where New Delhi, the capital, faces the problem of rising rape cases. Indeed, pepper spray cans and visits to cop shoppes to report rape — the two actions that ought to be carried out by women — cannot be the only answer to the problem. Instead, like Sweden, we need to ensure that perpetrators of rape are punished on a timely basis and sentenced to imprisonment — as prescribed in the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC) — and that such punishments are meted out regularly and without discrimination. Too often, women do not move ahead with rape cases because of how they are treated during the investigation process, making the crime even worse. |

| #7 Complete clownshow. There is no vetting of Afghans at all. We are basically a third-world country now. From Sen. Rob Portman's speech yesterday on the Senate floor: "Our oversight identified many other issues and concerns with the vetting process. For example, if an Afghan evacuee did have identification, such as an Afghan National ID card or passport, the screening process did not include validation of the documents beyond a visual inspection. No follow up. "The officials working at the military bases in Europe said they did not have any specific training or expertise in identifying a fraudulent Afghan ID card. So our folks went over to these foreign locations, the so-called lily pads and asked the people who are doing this screening process, 'When you get an Afghan ID card, what do you do?' They said 'We don’t have the expertise to identify a fraudulent Afghan ID card, so we assume that it’s accurate ...'. "The Afghan evacuees' identities are logged into ...a U.S. national security database -- in some cases, of course, based on what could be a fake ID. If the evacuees did not have any identification documents, which apparently was the case with a substantial number, no ID at all, federal officials simply logged them into our databases based on what they said was their name and their date of birth. So they created a national security database from what these individuals volunteered. "We’re told it’s not unusual for Afghans not to know their actual birthday. It’s just not always part of the culture to record or have that information, that’s understood. But this has resulted in a number of the databases including information about birthdays as January 1 of a particular year, so they were simply logged, as say, January 1, 1990. ..." |

| #3 If they don't like chemical castration, how about mechanical castration? Take off the testicles, and the urge goes way down. Take off the penis, and the ability to rape goes away. Problem solved. |

| #2 Afghan = Pakistan's Pakistan. And we've just imported nearly 100,000 of these multi-generational inbred brain-damaged child-raping savages. Without any vetting whatsoever. This is treason. |
