[Author’s note : The following commentary is highly divisive. I have donned my Kevlar body armor, and flame resistant racing gear, because I expect to hear about this post. I expect extensive bashing, especially by men. But, I choose to end my silence on the insanity I see around me every day. Given this is my personal blog, I can find no reason I should not voice my opinion. If you can’t deal with that, you’re welcome to leave.]
I saw another article on the news feed today. About another female. This time a 17-year-old girl. A child. She has yet to graduate from High School. She has no idea what life is, she’s only at the start of her journey.
She got kicked out of her senior prom. Yeah. Thrown out. Not because she misbehaved. Not because she did anything wrong. Not because she said anything she shouldn’t have. Not because she slipped in a bottle of booze. The truth is she followed all the rules. She even followed them better than other girls did.
She got kicked out because a bunch of old men couldn’t control their hormones. They found her appearance attractive. They found themselves having fantasies about screwing her. Getting her naked. And doing what they wanted.
That’s why they threw her out of her senior prom. They threw her out because she was pretty.
This teaches her the wrong thing. It teaches her men have all the control. It teaches her she’s a second class citizen. It teaches her she going to get trampled underfoot by men, and in truth, other women, if she’s pretty, and noticeably more pretty than those around her.
I spoke with my Doctor about this today. Because this angered me. I told my doc I’d happily line the men with no self-control up, and run over them with a big damn truck. I told my doc they were grown men, behaving identically to 13-year-old boys, just reaching puberty. I told him what I thought. What I honestly thought we should do about this type of problem.
Instead of destroying the girl’s senior prom, send the lecherous men home with notes to their significant others documenting the need for them to grow up.
If men and women insist on supporting the idiotic notion that women cause rape by women dressing evocatively, then perhaps it’s time to treat men like we treat other animal life forms. Perhaps we should take men with no self-control, and put them in cages, so they can’t commit the crime of rape. So they can’t commit acts of sexual harassment, and sexual abuse.
It’s what we do with dogs. Cats. Birds. Chickens. Ducks. Cattle. And countless other animals. We give them the self-control they refuse to develop.
Want to blame a woman for your action of raping her? OK. Let’s feed you this chemical cocktail every day, forever, that fixes that problem in your biochemistry. Or perhaps we should have you neutered. It would certainly cure the stupidity problem you insist isn’t yours.
I told my doctor it was true. Men were acting like 13-year-old boys. Look at how many treatments for the biological reality of low testosterone you watch from the safety of your family room sofa. Got low testosterone? We can fix that! Take this pill! Use this topical ointment! Re-balance your testosterone! So you can have that same lust for sex you had when you were 18!
Stop saying it’s her fault you raped her! It’s your fault. Be a man, and live with the consequences of your decisions and actions.
You have no idea how frustrated, angry, terrified and depressed dealing with the reality I see around me every minute of every day makes me. No idea at all.
Mark.
