Affront to dignity, patriarchal, sexist: SC on two-finger test on rape survivors
2022-11-02
Ick.
[GREATERKASHMIR] The Supreme Court on Monday said a woman's sexual history is wholly immaterial while adjudicating whether the accused raped her, and anybody who conducts the two-finger test on rape survivors would be guilty of misconduct.

It also declared the invasive procedure as patriarchal and unscientific, which re-victimises and re-traumatises the women.

A bench comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and Hima Kohli said: "The so-called test is based on the incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped. Nothing could be further from the truth - a woman's sexual history is wholly immaterial while adjudicating whether the accused raped her."

#4  And speaking of, er... hey, how about a movie review?

Who, under the Levantine moon,
Lampoons a Mohammedan tune?
Who wouldn't be skittish
And break into Yiddish?
Sivan, strumming oud, starts Tikkun.

#3  When Mohammedan finger times two
Slides up your sore hoohoo, "woo-hoo,"
For it means you're diverse
And thus freed from the curse
Of misguided male nurturing. ["Boooo!"]

It actually took 75 years of being a country to get a judge to notice this. In India most people will cover up their own rape or assault and just try and move on, because the law enforcement and judiciary are shit. Everything else is shit too but especially justice.

#1  File this under "news the left will never broadcast because it shows what *actual* misogyny looks like".
