More like a rant!


I wrote a blog about personal safety online and others about personal safety in general. What I heard on the news very soon after really horrified me. A woman was attacked in her bed by some young man. She was lucky enough to appear unscathed on the news. It's obvious though that she is not, merely appears that way, and that is vital after an attack. Because a male who attacks a woman has no understanding of women, she needs to appear very strong.

Many years ago, I was taught, show no fear, and I try to live by that. It has helped me on a few occasions. Not only that, I am a tough cookie!

I am not really saying what I have felt. I have felt that women are in incredible danger of being attacked, molested and abused, even losing their lives to assailants through both internet contacts and just everyday life in our current lifestyle. It's nothing specific, just a real general lack or loss of respect for women by young men, not so much older men, as they have seen more.

In my terms, it's as if "women's liberation" gave men license to abuse women as if they were men.

Women are not men, have never been men, and never will be unless they were born masculine, or undergo a gender change. Other than that, women are women, female, the "softer or fairer" sex. Even though science can simulate male pregnancy, women are the bearers of , not men, and that is where understanding seems to fail.

The whole system worldwide, seems to just have lost anything that it might have had in the past in the way of respect or consideration for women.

Now, while I say this, you need to be made aware that I, the person saying all of this, am very aware of men's limitations, shortcomings, failings, and also their strengths, their fortes, and their special abilities.

Perhaps the really big difference between men and women, and this is only most, not all, is that until a man reaches out for consolation and affection, he generally doesn't want any. That's not all men, just many men, in general. If he is in pain, or suffering, there is a good chance that he will be somewhere solo, or with only one companion near him, until he feels better. Note, the possible one companion, and that is not always a woman. It tends to be someone he trusts not to reveal "his weakness", so it could be a mother figure, or a male friend, or if he has a father only, it is likely to be his father, except if he is married.

The huge disadvantage of healing alone, or almost solo, is that the man involved gets none of the help that women naturally seek. He says "I don't need any help!" and similar things, to show how strong and tough he is. We all understand why, just each man loses so much when that happens. It's really clever for men to reach out, even if only to a limited few, hopefully to those who will be able to help them achieve real healing, either emotionally or physically, whichever they need. More than that, by reaching out for help, the men involved may just gain knowledge that they would not otherwise get.

Men, are warriors by nature, it is their natural job, to protect the home while women give birth to their offspring, so of course they can be quite aggressive. What men need to take to heart, is that women are by nature, carers and nurturers, because they give birth, and that weakens them to an extent, and they need that time of caring for the offspring and recouping themselves. Many women in the past never recovered from childbirth, for various reasons. Today, we are lucky, and women can be much stronger than they used to be.

To me, it's obvious, that when a man attacks an older woman in her bed, the man has an issue with an older female in his past. It's awful when he takes it out on a woman not associated with his life, just because he has an issue. I am not sure how this should be dealt with. Yes, of course the law needs to be upheld, the man caught and imprisoned. Just I am not sure that "punishment" is enough. To prevent this kind of behaviour in future, the man needs to be worked with, and somehow shown that taking it out on a stranger because of this or that reason does not resolve his issue.

This is where I get on my soap box, and say that revenge doesn't solve anything. Then I get told, but it makes you feel good. I look at the person who says that, and think they don't really feel anything. It's just that the revenge makes them feel something, which to them is better than nothing. It's about feeling yes, they did something about the original deed. Only often revenge is enacted on innocent bystanders, as it is doled out to the wrong person by accident. Often revenge is doled out on someone who never deliberately hurt the person who felt hurt, and it goes on.

Umm, is there anything left to discuss??? I have obviously aired my opinion!

So what do you think??? Why???
