The crime of Rape is seen as non-consensual penetration with a penis.

It becomes a sexual assault penetration when it is a Non-consensual penetration with something other than a penis.

Today in our society we dwell with some kinds of myth that seems false to me. One of it is,
“Only young, ‘attractive’ women and girls, who flirt and wear ‘revealing’ clothes, are raped.

But then I thought, what about the babies that are not up to age of one,that are been raped ?.
Does that mean they are attractive, flirt and wear attractive clothes ?

No !!!

The fact is People of all ages, appearances, classes, cultures, abilities , genders (boys/girls), sexualities ( straight,bi,trans,queer), races and religions, are raped.

Most times, while I don't criticize or see someone's sexuality as been possessed by an evil spirit like Africans would do (been QUEER ) is because, most times those individuals we see as a possessed and abnormal people, are victims of sexual assault that led them to become who they are before.

Some individuals (friends) had shared their agony of what they pass through that made them gay, lesbian, pervert (BDSM), e.t.c.

please If you want me to share experiences and stories of sexual assault and violence, you are free to tell me by leaving a comment below.

Rape is an act of violence and force control.
The perceived ‘ attractiveness ’ of a victim has very little to do with it.

There is no excuse/mitigation for sexual violence, and it is never the victim/survivor’s fault.

I have

  **VICTIMS WEAR.** 

The sexual assaulters sometimes uses the wears of their victims as an excuse.

To me What someone was wearing when they were raped or how they behave is irrelevant to me.

We should all stand up against Rape.

I hope and pray for a better nigeria, were sexual assaulters are been seriously punished.

Am against rape.
we should all be and Rise against it.

The definition of rape needs to be adjusted as a definition based on non-consensual penetration by a penis implies women cannot rape men, which is definitely untrue.

Also do people really believe that sexualities can be caused by demonic possession?

Yeah..
In a country like nigeria it do happens ..
That's one of the problems you would face for been a queer in nigeria.
