Hi.
So, the Mush-brained Yam that currently squats in the Whitehouse feels badly for the sorry excuses for human beings that gang raped a young woman for seven hours, advertising it in a group chat like she was some sort of carnival ride that they had disabled just enough override the built in security systems.
Yeah, he's worried THEY won't get a fair shake.
"Prosecuting them will ruin their lives"
Good.
"Boys will be boys"
Okay, so it IS all men.
"She should have known better than to go to a frat party"
THEY should have know better than to dehumanize, abuse, and brutalize someone, yelling "free pussy" through social media like some demented carnival barker.
"But, she consented to part of it"
Really?! I made you dinner, you consented to coming over to eat it. About half way through, I poison the food and ram it down your throat. But, you consented.
"But, she was drinking"
If, when you see someone in a vulnerable position, your first instinct is figure out a way to grope, overpower, and rape them, you are a vile piece of shit.
"They were young, it was just a mistake"
If you think they got caught the very first time they did something like this, I have some ocean front property in Saskatchewan you might be interested in.
Enough.
To all the "good guys" out there, and I put it in quotes purposefully, do something about these delusional, assholes who think that the only purpose of a woman is to provide them pleasure, take care of them like their mommies did, and give them babies.
Your fist pounding and choruses of "If I got my hands on that guy" are ringing pretty hollow. You know you all know a guy who talks about women like they aren't human. In their eyes we are merely a carrier of body parts that you think you are entitled to. Or, maybe you are that guy.
You know this guy just like every woman knows another woman who has been sexualized one way or another, or has been herself.
You like to tout yourselves as our protectors. Well, where is that? Definitely not in the group chat. Definitely not in the comments all over social media. Definitely not at the parties, or in the bars, or on the streets, or in the parking lots, or in the restaurants, or in the parks.... so where are these mighty protectors?
Your silence is compliance. If you're not calling it out every single time. If you're not shutting down the comments. If you laugh off rape jokes. If you ever sit in the entitlement of "bro code." You are the problem.
I would love for my granddaughters to enter womanhood unscathed, but sadly it's already too late for that, as my 12-year-old granddaughter has already had to deal with episodes of the ick feeling from grown ass men.
So her training of how to defend yourself, and ways to keep yourself safe have begun. Not because we want trade in her childhood innocence for five ways to get away from a man, but because we have to. We will do our part as women to give her all the tools she can carry to keep herself from being the next Jane Doe.
Men, what are you going to do about the assholes determined to give her that name?
Here's a hint... writing essays ain't gonna cut it.
