He settled down beside me (like there weren't other sitting spaces available).

Unfortunately,  that is exactly what happens in our society today. ''Better go and marry'', that's every parents national anthem once the lady reaches her mid-twenities. Although this is true for both sexes,

I AM A WOMAN!! - author unknown  I am a woman, so what? I get into an argument with a man,  he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet,  I should have been patient.  I should apologize to him. I get into an argument with a man,  I slap him,  they tell me I have no respect, no home training.

And he murdered her innocence........... Rape is one of the most degrading, devastating emotional events that can happen to a person. It's no longer news that the evils of rape leave a sour taste in the mouth. Although the victims of rape have in recent times come to include guys,
