Wake up! Sleeping giants

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

I am living in times where sleeping peacefully is a struggle.

A man cat calls a woman and she does not giggle back, what's wrong withyu can't you accept a compliment?

A woman's personal information was taken and used to contact her and we all laughed at her anger and made comments like if it was a rich man we would never have heard of it. To mean harassment from people with money is acceptable in this society, it is something a woman must appreciate. Oh it was wrong but why such drastic steps, the poor man is going to lose his livelihood.

A woman was sometimes back raped by a prominent person and in that instance we said, what was she doing at that time of the night with a married man. Why was she there? Having drinks with the man! It's her fault.

A woman is stripped on the streets, not by one man but several grown men in broad day light, and we all stepped back like but even her what was she wearing?.

Yesterday a grown man posts pictures of a child showing her breasts and bragging how he had sex with her,... well because he is not getting loved back by the object of his desire and the excuses this man has got is alarming. We don't have the facts, with the maasais a 10 year old is an adult, there are variables, he shouldn't have posted that on facebook. Another person actually added that she looked happy, so she must have enjoyed it!

A man sexually abused his own very young son and the authorities made the person who reported it sign a paper indicating that he has let the matter go, it would be handled by the family. And again then we did not have the facts. So we can't make noise. Make noise but not too much noise because well that letter is not enough facts.

A man chopped off both hands of his wife, prior to this, the woman had gone to her pastor for help and pastor said go home and pray about it. Marriage is holy, cannot be broken and must be endured. Oh and he was always such a good man.

A woman gets to the top of her career, Lo and behold she just must have slept her way up there.

A married man goes out of his home and fucks a bunch of other women. It's not his fault, he is innocent, it is the other women's fault. It is their collective responsibility to ensure your husband has his penis in check.

We have all heard of those incidences, where a man is continuously having sex with the help, abusing position of power, some maids get brutally raped, what do we as women of the house do? We get another maid! And another, rape is happening right under our roofs.

Oh and yesterday there was news Kim Kardashian was tied up and robbed and the internet was like they should have raped her or killed her.

Men who stand up and fight for and defend women are sissies and gay. Real men join in the fun! We are the problem. We are the reason bad things happen to us.
