I don't think it's the same. The fact that the Indian government tried to ban the documentary described in the article is particularly off-putting.

Yes, and murder happens everywhere. That doesn't mean I feel as unsafe in NYC today as I would've 20 years ago when the murder rate was 3x as high. Rate of rape is the issue here.

Not at the same level! Jesus!

And I wouldn't want to give them any tourism/money until the government gets its shit together on this.

I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of shit for saying this, but India just does NOT seem like a safe place to be a woman. At all. In any capacity.

theoretically, I don't believe in torture or the death penalty but reading this I just don't know what to think. Gang raping a 70 year old nun. What the fuck? Can we just tear these guys limb from limb?

Oh Chloe...what again now? mmhmmmm too crass?

The Julia Stiles season of Julia Stiles is the worst.

I encountered Chloe Sevigny about 10 years ago at a dyke bar in NYC. She was easily the most needlessly bitchy person in the entire (packed) bar.

I love how they think abortion commentary is relevant in a message about their bigoted, racist members.

Thank you. Unfortunately, that kind of nuance is pointless with this crowd. Why discuss when you can just get your daily dose of Faux Outrage porn?

And the conversation often goes back and forth, with street culture influencing high, and then vice versa, and on and on (with the dawn…

I'm all for calling out when fashion houses generate actual offenses along the lines of cultural or religious sacrilege (the trivialization of sacred regalia/ symbols, Racist charicatures, etc)... but let's just be real: there is no seething racism here. The look is pretty far removed from the source.

"As a white person...I personally do not take it seriously...."

wow, so many different kinds of Nope all wrapped up in one poor model.
