This is exactly what's called rape culture - Kangana Ranaut wishing for the veteran feminist crusader for women's rights @IJaising to face the same fate as Jyoti Singh. Short #Thread below on this.
My own organisation, while opposing death penalty in principle, sympathises with the anger & grief Jyoti's parents feel. We don't feel we have a right to tell grieving parents how to deal with that grief and rage. Our point: Death penalty offers society a fake solution for rape
So, I feel that neither Ms @IJaising nor anyone has any right to advice a grieving mother or parent on how to act. But we do have a right (& duty) to say "we are with you, we are against rape and rapists, but also against death penalty in principle".
Being against the death penalty is NOT = being pro rape or rapists. I've an entire thread on this subject alone where I established that in fact, many who are invested in death penalty are part of rape culture. Must add Kangana to my multitude of examples of this.
Ms @IJaising 's lifelong work has expanded the rights of women in India. She was just as bold in confronting the UPA Govt as she does the current regime, when it comes to their failures to protect the rights and lives of women and all humans. All women in India owe her much
I am disgusted to find Kangana Ranaut using her platform to wish sexual violence on any woman. For her to do so for Ms @IJaising who has spent her entire life fighting for and winning rights for women (dowry, domestic violence, sexual harassment in courts), is even worse.
Folks, listen up. If you think it's OK to wish rape and gang rape as punishment for women you disagree with, you are part of the problem, you are promoting rape culture. Kangana, here's looking at you - you are promoting rape culture, shame on you.
