So how 'safe' are we anyway?

In the wake of the recent rape of a photojournalist in Mumbai the nation is 'outraged' as they were when the Delhi incident happened in December 2012.. Protests are happening all over as they did happen post the Delhi rape incident... Debates are happening on several news channels as they did during the Delhi incident... 6 months from now everyone will forget the Mumbai incident and move on with their lives as they did with the Delhi incident... I'm saying 'incident' because I have become immune to this routine.. Yes! Rape is routine today.. There is not a single day that goes by without the newspaper or other media reporting crimes against women..Our capital city is referred to as the 'Rape Capital'...And there is nothing I or anybody can do... Nothing! Why?? Well, because we're the weaker sex...Because if a girl is molested it was SHE who provoked the man to do so...If a girl was raped she deserved it... If a girl was raped and brutally assaulted
