Rape and its sociology

Gender inequality remains a great cause behind rape like heinous crime. Gender inequality is rooted in the female-male power relationship. Society considers males with stereotypically masculine expressions of sexuality and females with stereotypically feminine expressions of sexuality. In India, cross-cultural perspectives were mainly occupied by men. Here in India, being subordinate to men, women could not oppose strongly to the socialisation of gender stratification based on traditional gender roles within the family. Moreover, social institutions like religion, family, education, employment, etc. promoted the traditional socialisation of women in an era where cross-cultural boundaries were continuously diminishing. The market based or market oriented socialisation on western parameters represented women as a good economic instrument based on sexuality. Men feel no discomfort in embracing women prestige and status, because the opposing societal forces were already overlapped by market forces. So, to improve the status and role of women from second-class to a leading and equally participating entity in country's development, the most effective tool is political system because only State with, in capacity of its Legislature, Executive and Judiciary organs can break the stereotypically masculine expressions of male through establishing a legal framework in which women with their right-based approach can achieve a status of gender equality. But social participation and social regulation in reorganizing women's status on their social security front will remain the most important throughout entire structural reform process.
