A simple and effective solution : SCREAM.
Courage is not your grandfather’s property
that you will
get it for
free.
It has to
be cultivated just
like you cultivate
your good manners.
Of course if
you freeze at
the very sight
of your archenemy
then you need psychiatric treatment….if
you feel anything
less than that
cultivate your courage.
Why do
victims take sexual
harassment lying down?
Because we
women are conditioned
not to have
courage….we are trained to be cowards.
Do not talk
loudly. Why are you going out
so late? Why
are you wearing such
clothes?
Don’t answer back. Don’t
laugh so loudly. Sit
properly. Walk decently. Why
are you taking
to boys? Why
are you listening
to such music? Why
have you left
your hair all
open and flying…..and
so many things
that try to
teach you good
manners.
Do
this, do not
do this….you think
you being trained
to be a
good girl?
NO. You are
being trained to
be a good
slave.
The first things
this training takes
away is your
self respect . Once self
respect goes courage
follows it out
of your life.
What is left?
NOTHING. A piece of
meat in the
shape of a
woman who is destined to
believe what is
between her legs is
more important that
what is above
her shoulders.
So you
try to beat
the above mentioned
quality analysis?
Well, I don’t
know about other
countries but in
India you are
characterless.
And on the
top of being
characterless you smoke,
drink , have friends
in the male
species, go disco
and pubs? You are
a whore.
Now who wants
to be characterless
and a whore?
Of course there
are a few
like me but
most of us are satisfied
by being called
a good woman.
And being
a good woman/ slave
is a sure
shot invitation for
exploitation?
Your life revolves
around your ass,
you have no
courage and no
self respect? Yes, you are
an open invitation.
Yes, we woman
were conditioned to
fear….through ages. And it
will not go
away so easily.
We woman have
been conditioned to
fear men. No it is
not respect, respect
is earned. Fear
is thrust upon. The line
is not so
thin unless you
are blind.So it is fear. We have been living under their rule, letting them dictate our destiny since the first day humans began to take form.
Even on a day to day basis how many woman cringe physically with their senses fired up when we see a unknown man watching us even in a crowded bus stop?
That’s conditioning. A conditioning meant for our survival. But that conditioning has become our nemesis. What was once thought to be coy has become a shame….that shame a burden.
Survival is two things : flight or fight.
We have took flight long enough now is the time to fight.
It’s needs a rude awakening. I slap myself tight if ever I get scared when I see a man watching me with his dirty eyes. That is a way I get out of my conditioning. And I slap myself often.
Yes, you might be physically weaker, even emotionally weaker but you damn well are not mentally weaker.
Have you seen a mother fight for her child? They fight tooth and nail even against the worst of enemies till they win. That is the courage you need to get back the respect our ancestors lost to the male species.
We need men but we don’t need them to trample our spirits, let that be at homes or at office.
So the pervert is your Boss?
Your job depends on him? You have a family to support? You have mortgages? Your career will be finished?
No you won’t lose your job. Fight back. Tooth and Nail. You will be perfectly fine if not immediately then soon after. Maybe you will get all tensed up. Your heart will beat faster. Your palms will sweet but other than that nothing ominous will happen.
If you take it lying down you might be finished a thousand ways but if you fight back trust me nothing wrong will happen.
There is one thing men are scared of : our voices.
They don’t like our pitch and frequency. Use it call the attention of heaven and hell. Don’t give a damn if the world is watching and yours is the only voice. Your throat might hurt, big deal. God gave us the voices because he could not build us like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Shout the perverts name and his game, shame him right there and then and then be firm on your ground. Point your index finger at him. You need not fear nor be ashamed. You didn’t do anything wrong.
Let people see him. Shout till people know him. But don’t wait for tomorrow . You have to shout right there and then. So he can be caught with guilt and shame written all over his face. And he will have no way to escape or give excuses.
Since in my great country there is no concrete law to protect woman in offices your loud voice is the best way to deal with the perpetrator.
And once he is shamed openly no one will support him.
Maybe he would lose his job or maybe he won’t but never ever will he dare exploit you or anyone else in his life. It will teach a lesson to the fellow scoundrels too.
Yes, a few men from his brotherhood will shun you. Big deal. You go to office to make a living and not get votes from creeps!
Trust me if he is a repeat offender there is a great chance he will lose his job.
If you take it lying down sooner than later people will be calling you names and saying you are giving him sexual favors because you want office favors. If you want to be named and shamed then no one can help you.
Legal battles will take years. Your mental peace will be finished.
As many as 97% of rapists go scot free. This is not my stats but govt. stats. So, rest assured molesters and etc are staying as free as birds.
What to do? When in a battle field you will be muddied and bloodied and you will have to get down to their level. There is no other way.
So don’t think twice. Shout. Like those cheapskate politicians in India.
This technique is used by even loan collectors in India.
When people default on their EMI to banks for too long the loan collectors walk the streets and shout the defaulters name. Yes, defaulters comply immediately. This technique has worked miracles.
Well, like they say ‘Big voices get attentions even if they are not reasonable.’ They don’t say this? No, problem, I am saying it.
The first thing that you got to teach a girl child is not good manners but how and why not to be shy. Believe me you will be doing her a great favor.
Learn and teach how to : SCREAM.
P.S. no, it is not my personal opinion it is being taught across the world where there are not many concrete ways to deal with sexual exploitation.
