Imperative Topic

I think this is such an imperative topic to discuss, and really like how you discussed that rape culture- in this case in India in particular- exists because of patriarchal gender ideals, and because women have always been seen as being below men. This in part, as well as other factors, leads to rape culture being perpetuated. I also found it extremely insightful of you to compare your topic to The Handmaid's Tale, and how you tied in the state controlling women's bodies as well as "typical" gender roles and gender norms. I think your example for intersectionality - the girl who was deaf and vulnerable as well as raped- was significant.
