Shame on us men!

News of a spate of rapes on young girls during the last month has left one very uncomfortable. It gives the impression that young women have no right to personal safety. I was reading an obituary on Alexander Solzhenitsyn written in 2008 in The Economist. Let me quote a very disturbig extract 'As for war, though the Nazis had unleashed atrocities in Russia, "I remember myself in my captain's shoulder-straps and the forward march of my battery through East Prussia, enshrouded in fire, and I say: So were we any better?'" In one poem, "Prussian Nights", he wrote: The little daughter's on the mattress,..... Dead. How many have been on it..... A platoon, a company perhaps?..... A girl's been turned into a woman,..... A woman turned into a corpse.----------------------------------------------------------------- Shame on us men.
