I thank reader-researcher RC for this article.

While I hope that the kidnapper-rapists are severely punished for their crimes—in pre-feminist America, they would he hanged—the victim was so stupid that you wonder how she managed to live to see her 22nd birthday. The AP title is idiotic, in referring to her as a “Japanese scholar” (the story then refers to her as “a 22-year-old Japanese research scholar”), which deliberately deceives readers into thinking she was a mature woman. A young, probably attractive woman, barely more than a girl, traveling around the rural areas of a third world country all alone? She might as well have worn a sign on her back, saying “Kick me.”

To any reader who might say, “Some 22-year-old women are very mature,” I say, they don’t travel around rural areas of Third World countries alone. Should anyone call me “sexist,” I’m tempted to point out that it’s reality, in the form of Third World kidnapper-rapists, who are sexist, but feminists are beyond help.

She’s a victim of feminism and her own poor judgment, as well as of her captors.
 

Japanese scholar held hostage, gang raped for weeks in India: cops

PATNA, India — Police arrested three Indians for allegedly gang raping a 22-year-old Japanese research scholar near a Buddhist pilgrimage center in eastern India, police said Friday.

Police were looking for two more suspects who also allegedly kept the Japanese woman as a hostage for nearly three weeks in a village near Bodh Gaya, a town nearly 80 miles south of Patna, the capital of Bihar state, police officer Akhilesh Singh said.

She managed to escape from their captivity on Dec. 26 and reached Kolkata, once known as Calcutta, where she was based and filed a police complaint. She has been studying life in rural India for some time, Singh said.

A Kolkata-based tourist guide had taken the Japanese woman to Bodh Gaya to show her the Buddhist pilgrimage center where Gautam Buddha is said to have obtained enlightenment under a tree. He was joined by four others in keeping her in captivity and raping her, police officer Singh said.

Two of the arrests were made from the area on Friday and one earlier this week in Kolkata, police said.

India has a long history of tolerance of sexual violence. But a series of high-profile rape cases have triggered a strong public outrage in recent years, leading to tough anti-rape laws.

India has doubled prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalized voyeurism, stalking and the trafficking of women. The law also makes it a crime for officers to refuse to open cases when complaints are made.

The Indian male [Hindu or Muslim] is not perceived as normally sexually aggressive. Until now.

And the foreign woman is not only seen as an easy mark but a desirable easy mark.

American whitey young women have been that desirable easy mark for decades. NOW it is the turn of the Japanese.

Try supervising these snake charmers. Good gawd the smell alone!American women find their habits nasty and their sexist dominant views intolerable. Note many job stealing Indian IT workers were busted in the program To Catch a Predator. Thanks Bill Gates for bringing them here.
