The right questions on rape? Should we even be asking questions? What justifies if a question is right or wrong? Well, for me, if it is bringing solutions or not.
Now, the situation is not even whether the victim will speak up due to fear of the perpetrator. The fear now is the world will sit and rip the claim apart, claiming for evidence, scrutinising the story, breaking it apart and looking for lies. Imagine a rapist telling the victim that if she speaks out, he would only “catch cruise “. It’d trend and be forgotten.

When we won’t face the point and question the rapist, not the victim. Playing the blame game. What wear you wearing? Why did you go out? Sadly, the world is raising ENABLERS. Enabling rapists. Victims do not speak up. Not fear again but there is almost no justice. The value system is crashing. It is very sad that a lot of people are now fickle-minded with a short attention span.
It’s not even up to a year since we last discussed rape on the blog, we just had to come back to talking about this once again.

I don’t like talking about this again because it seems like a trend or a mother talking to a child who has refused to stop being stubborn.
You’d think it get better and the society will learn but no, now it is worse.

I don’t really understand what is wrong with society anymore and I no longer believe it is an evil spirit. It is a human choice to be made subject to the devil. Let’s even stop blaming the devil who is interested in being equal with God and dragging souls to hell. It is clear that it is purely a product of human decision.
CALLING OUT RAPE IS NOT FEMINISM
If you are a woman and you lie against a man for raping you, then you a bigger part of the problem.
Rape is not a gender thing or a feminist ploy. Please, let that sink in. Men and women need to do better. We need to re-educate.
Most men do not want to agree that some acts count as rape cause one way or another they’d be guilty. What hurts more is to see the way some women react to it or should I say girls and we are in 2020.
It’s just like in the series, Sex Education when Aimee got onto a bus and the man standing behind her was masturbating.. Aimee got scared and she never got on buses again. Rather than get on buses, she began to walk long distances. Now, tell me that this doesn’t happen in bank queues or even while being seated in buses. Men need to do better. Imagine the height of indiscipline and harassing another person.
Why would a man want to have sex with a 10-year-old? Or in retrospect the world youngest mother at 5, Lina Medina. I think we asked the wrong questions on science. We really should ask is how a man, her father/uncle got her pregnant, what sort of actions or thought led to that?
You know, I have been discussing it with friends. Sex has been made so cheap, 500 Naira with certain sex workers would do. But then, I stopped to think that these women also go through sexual harassment but they don’t speak up as well.

PROTECT YOURSELF
Dear friends, as you get the chance, protect those around you, your sisters, daughters, brothers…. The predator is lurking around us seeking those who appear weak to steal from, kill and destroy.
If a girl asks you for money, it is not rape. She may be exploiting you. Stop justifying evil with nonsense. We really should re-select who our friends are after this. Call out your friends if they are abusers.
Dear human, say what you want and do not waiver. Stand firm for what you believe in.

I hope this doesn’t just trend and die down.
Protect yourselves, kings and queens.
Fight; your consent is your choice.
We all need to reeducate.
No is No.
Yes is Yes
And consent can be withdrawn at any point; there is no maybe and no in between.
