RAPE

I stood in the elevator at my work place and looked up a couple of weeks ago, looked up at the tiny screen and there was news about an 8 months old baby that had just been raped in India and that she was fighting for her life as her internal organs were seriously damaged. At that point I was so sad and distraught but the work that the day brought quickly took my mind off that news.

Today, I woke up to another news; a 3-year-old child had been constantly molested by her teacher in Lagos. A man who was supposed to oversee this child’s mental growth was abusing his power and sexually abusing this child. The child did not even know what was happening, the mother innocently decided to give her daughter sex education only for her to be shocked because her daughter already had a man defiling her. Confused and distraught she took her daughter to a medical professional only for her daughter to start drawing her a penis and describing what had been done to her and her friend (both kids were 3 years old) by their teacher.

When feminists say they hate men it is not because we don’t want to get married or we want a world totally devoid of men but it is because men have so much entitlement and they assume a woman’s body is solely for their pleasure. How do you excuse such mans behavior, a man in his 30’s, an educator, tell me how?

Not only did that horrific event happen another man, a father had the audacity to say this child was telling lies and the school that this happened should pull all resources behind the pedophile and support him. To him I ask, where do you think a child of this age would get the idea to make up such accusation? She drew a penis for God’s sake, how would a 3-year-old baby be able to draw a penis if one hadn’t been put near her.

They say feminists hate men but when men constantly abuse women, shut us up, call us liars, blame us for THEIR actions they show how much hatred they have for women.

Rape is unforgivable. It is inexcusable. Don’t do it! A woman’s body is not your play thing. When a woman says no, then stop dammit, you are human capable of using your brain (I hope) then use it. Stop behaving like dogs and leave women and young kids alone. You man who have told your self that the older woman is too wild or too experienced or expects too much from you, and say to yourselves you prefer younger women, check yourself you are a pedophile, leave young girls alone to live their young lives and seek help for yourself.

Remember when a woman says no, she is not playing hard to get! she is not trying to make you beg for it! (whatever that means) she just doesn’t want you! Learn to listen. When a woman visits you, that does not automatically mean she wants you to fuck her. When she dresses “seductively” she does not automatically want you to fuck her. Again, let women dress and live their lives don’t use your unwarranted feeling of entitlement to ruin a woman’s life. you have a brain, use it to make the right decisions.

I personally think rapists should be castrated and secluded and left to live as eunuchs in a country far away with no TV, electricity or internet but what do I know, the justice system has a totally different approach.
