On Sexual Harrasment & Abuse



Yesterday in class, we discussed about rape. I don't really have much to say about it because I don't like thinking about it. It's horrible act. What drives men to force themselves on women? Do men not know the meaning of the word 'no'? I think it's very patriarichal of our society to even judge an innocent woman when she complains of a breech of her virtues. No woman asks to be raped. As for the men who get raped well, I feel sorry for them. I think their masculinity is stripped from them as well as their dignity. That's a big fall for their ego. It's just awful that some peole let their libido, instead of their brain, work and dictate their moves. In the process, a lot of people are run over. How can rape be avoided? Though social awareness may help to an extent but I don't think a sexual offender would stop to think about right and wrong and 'no' means 'no' when libido is on the rise. Hopefully, women (and men) would have enough physical energy to overcome their attacker. Mace or a taser gun, perhaps? Of course, that would require the victim to have enough wits to defend him or herself. I don't really see much of a solution to rape. I think that if people were going to have it diminished from society, eradication would have to be started by the people from within each and every possible rapist.
