Forgive me for my Sunday rant… I really don’t want to kill anyone!
Forgive me for my Sunday rant… I really don’t want to kill anyone!
My Sunday rant, don’t worry, it’s going to be short…
I’ve been getting feedback from my rape post and a lot of shares. Thank you. I need to answer one of my friends who likened me to a hero in that story.
Believe me when I say I’m no hero; I only did whatever I had to do to save myself. I also don’t consider myself a victim either; I tucked away this horrible event and went on with my life. To let a past evil act (regardless of shame) insinuate its ugly tentacles into any part of my future would have been like surrendering my self-worth to that cowardly man.
My hero is every single woman that comes forward and presses charges against any man that has subjected her to humiliation and gross indecency. This ongoing disrespect and acts of violence against women are disgraceful, for the equal human beings that we all are, period! These women are my heroes.
We have men in every walk of life subjecting us to sexual harassment and even raping us! Why..? You all have mothers; every one of you has a mother. It was a woman who gave birth to you.
Let’s be real here, ok? A woman gave you your life and let you be free; this same woman didn’t enslave you to be her servant. She didn’t impose strict protocol on what you could wear, who you could talk to, or even prevent you from getting an education!
This woman had hopes for you to be a great man that she could be proud of. That some of you turn around and treat us with total disrespect and even enslave us is so incongruous to me. That you rape and humiliate us with no consequences in some countries is beyond my belief.
Some of you (too many) have been doing it in the free world and getting away with it; this has got to stop. Locker talk, date rape… date rape drugs and just plain sexist discrimination in the workplace… is beneath us all.
Next time you rape a woman, grab a feel of her body parts, sexually harass her in the workplace, or just threaten to kill her if she doesn’t comply, I want you to think of this… If we, as moms, could see how some of you behaved in the future, we would be horrified and probably would beat the f#$%# shit out of you… or eaten you at birth (some species do eat their young).
Think about that.
Please, Lord, forgive me… my rage. What is happening in the world is sometimes overwhelming… I’m still hurting for all those schoolgirls that were kidnapped over two years ago. People like Donald Trump are not making this a better place to live. It’s just making me sick for what is to become of our world.
And Lord… thank you for all the good men in our lives who do give us hope.
