Anger and sarcasm flowed freely on Twitter a day after actor-activist Rahul Bose came out in favour of giving the Delhi gang-rape accused a chance to reform and create a 'gender warrior' among them.

The actor said, "We have to ask ourselves of the five or six of the rapists of the December 16 is there anyone who wants to change, who wants to reform... Nobody is saying about commuting any sentence, the sentence stands as it is but while it stands can we create a gender warrior among them?"

Reacting strongly to the actor's remarks, netizens took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to express their anger:

@calamur: "if men like Rahul Bose were groped and manhandled on a daily basis, they wouldn't come up turning rapists into 'gender warriors'"

@Raja_Sw @Meetasengupta:  "@calamur What's a "gender warrior" anyway? Somebody who defends a gender? Tried to google term but couldn't get an answer."

@malviyamit: "@calamur He was only trying to sound intelligent and endear himself to the coterie of lunatics, read deluded liberals !"

@SatanBhagat: "Even Wikipedia doesn't know who Rahul Bose is."

@adimanubarwala: "Its funny how people living simple peaceful lives invite trouble & tormentation by speaking on issues dey r nt related to! #rahul bose"

@HoeZaay: "I totally agree with everything Rahul Bose said after he stopped talking."

@Roflindian: "Then there was this Rahul Bose | Not garrulous, just verbose | Once in his pride | He took a rapist's side | And promptly lost his nose |"

@namitabhandare: "Would #RahulBose say the same thing if his sister had been raped and killed?" asks the medical student's brother when I met him yesterday."

@mojorojo: "This is the largest audience anything Rahul Bose has ever done has reached"

@KiranKS: "Same Rahul Bose, along with Teesta Setalvad screamed "justice for ALL".. Suddenly Nirbhaya not a part of "ALL" :("

@justicearnab: "I Read somewhere that "u don't try to be so open minded that your brain falls out". Perfectly applicable to Mr. Bose"

Bose is the latest public figure to have landed in the eye of storm with controversial comments on a sensitive issue.
