Nope, I don't mean physically but mentally.
Was browsing the web at random as usual and came upon to a website. It's called Rape Survivor, Journey of self discovery and help... http://www.rape.co.za
The stories in there were more horrifying than anything I read before. Because they are/were real. Because these women suffered from their so-called close friends/relatives/soulmates. Some even from strangers.
These women, trying their best to grow strong for they had been weakened, bullied, made used of by those rapists. Some grew stronger but most turned weaker, with suicidal thoughts.
It saddens me that such things should occured and for the first time, I am grateful for my country's protection for women, as rapists DO NOT and WILL NOT be tolerated nor gotten scott free here.
Many, if not all, live for years in shame, embarrasement but the fault is not theirs! Whoever that said they deserve it for wearing sluttishly, or get themselves drunk or drugged or stupid enough to follow blindly with those men, let me asked you this. Will you think, if one day, your sister, cousin, close friends OR EVEN THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, get raped, will you still think that she deserved it? ( Assuming of cos that you ain't that rapist. )
I had many emotions ( sadness, anger, hatred to the rapists ) running within me after reading each story, and I wished those rapists could be put to justice. Wishing that they will be ( I won't use would be ) castrated. That they lived forever in jail, getting raped by other psycho rapists in the prison and getting a hell of a beating at the same time. But I think for the victims, they would most likely wished that those rapists are dead. Or better yet, for them to turn back the time and erased the dreaded incident that killed their poor souls, ruined their dignities.
It irks me to know some of these horrid creatures are still allowed to roam freely, searching for the next victim. I won't curse or wish anything bad to the rapist's family ( it will degrade me to their level ), but I will curse them, for their "little brothers" to rot away, painfully at that, or to be severed off, bit by bit, so they can feel the fear and pain that they had inflicted to their victims. Even when they begged for sorry, no mercy shall be shown, for they had given none to their victims.
I had read that some prisons do not put rapists in the same jailroom with the other convicts ( such as robberies and murders ) for they would be beaten badly, if not, to death, by these other convicts. Why? Cos even though these people commit crimes, they do not tolerate rapists.
At the ending note, I'll just say to the victims, stay strong, you ain't alone, for you have other people who really, sincerely care for you. Do not ever think that its your fault or you deserved it, for no one deserved to go through such fate. Do not think of yourself as a shameful person, or anything negative, for you are not.
The ones that should be condemned is not you but the beast that attacked you. You have as much rights to stay alive, as much right to look for a better future and if anyone should die, its the beast and not you...
