I am appalled and don’t ask me why
Why I feel for the girl that was raped, mutilated, murdered and then her body destroyed like some unwanted object
Why I feel for safety and security of every girl in the country, every day, everyplace at all hours of day
Why am I affected by the news of some random girl being tortured in a far away remote village, while enjoying my privileged life in big city
How do I feel the pain that she and numerous other women go through in their life for the sole reason that they were born that way
Why do I feel my tongue is cut and spine broken, body mutilated when in real life I have no clue how that feels like
How am I talking about this when my privileged ass is sitting in a cushy sofa away from all this
I say this because I am a women, and contrary to popular belief I have rights and opinions
I may be privileged upper class but that has no relevance when it comes to creepy stare of men
My privilege is nothing when I am molested and unwantedly touched and groped in public
My privilege ends when I reject unwanted advances of men and am called names for it
A women has no right to choose and no privilege to say no to things she wants to say no to
Any thing she does for herself, any decision she takes for herself is deemed wrong by society
If she stays quiet she has no objection and she is enjoying it (reality is they don’t care)
If she says no she does not mean that and she somehow has no objection and enjoying it
If she says yes or expresses her desires she is labelled and Called names
When people compare act of sex with rape and say rape is consequence of “urges” not getting fulfilled
Because as women, any unrequited and unfulfilled “sex urge” of men is our cross to bear and a women’s consent is a myth
This is what we are considered good for to be forced upon by any and all shortcomings of society because blaming a man for forcing his “urges” and raping a women is wrong
blaming a man for destroying a women’s heat soul and body for his urges is wrong after all that is what women are made for to take shit of society
Anyone who thinks women are dispensable:
You can break my bones but you cannot break my spirit
You can crush by body but you cannot crush my soul
You can “cut my tongue” out but you cannot “silence” me
