So far I have not commented on the horrible event that happened in New Delhi. All I can think is how very, very grateful I am to have lived only in societies where sexual harassment is seriously frowned upon and can even get men fired.

Given migration patterns, I seriously hope Western governments put a lot of serious thought into community education and just don't tiptoe around inherited problems. Simply moving to Mississauga or Rochdale is unlikely to change a mindset, especially when reinforced by new neighbours from the old country.
