BE HUMANE
BE HUMANE
So I woke up this morning to quite a saddening post on instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BeoLK_zF7Lv/A lady reportedly posted that she was raped yesterday and all, and
the only thing that could come out from the reasoning faculty of most of
readers was how on earth did she get to the guy’s house. Really I do not
understand what this world is actually becoming. Have we actually gone so cold
to issues as delicate as rape in our society? And to realize that it is actually
the female gender castigating the victim and they keep clamoring for the male
gender to give them more respect and credit? You do not even give yourselves credit, respect and support. I am not sorry to say this, YOU
ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THAT THIS WAY. Why do we tend to isolate ourselves from
the society? We make up the society. It was her turn yesterday, it could be yours
today.
I can comprehend to an extent that question they kept asking
the lady. But really? Should that be the first step? This is no different from
the actress-taxify driver story where according to the actress the driver took
her to an unknown secluded destination rather than where she proposed. The
first comments were humanly diminishing. Why have issues pertaining to the
female gender become something of no concern to the world and now also to the
females themselves. Every passing day, we see and hear of women backlash each
other in public. I am not saying that women cannot disagree. It is impossible
to agree on every issue but when you have to disagree on certain issues, it
should not be in public rather the discussion should go on in private (with
respect and sense, because some ladies just do not know how to talk). Domestic violence
is no any different but thank God eyes are being opened to realize that no
matter how faulty a lady is, she does not deserve to be hit, manipulated,
stalked or threatened.
The males are not excluded from this either. They also get
raped and violated also. The fact that it is not as pronounced as that of the
females does not make it non-existent. I know of a close friend who was constantly
being sexually abused at a young age by his aunt. He never got to speak out to
anyone until he read about me and chose to share his ordeal with me. I would
say it is because majority of the world is patriarchal, so when news of rape or
abuse is heard, it is always assumed to be performed on the woman.
I think it is high time we stop being myopic in our judgment
and begin to act first as humans before asking questions. What good are the
answers when the victim dies slowly? NO means NO! and love is not manipulative
nor painful. Let us all stay woke. No matter how much you dislike a person, he
or she does not deserve to be treated less of a human being. Be sensitive.
