Let’s talk about it. Revenge Porn.

The pictures that have become the talk at coffee tables and gatherings, where misogynistic men show off the saved screenshots as trophies to what I don’t even know. Look, look at this woman without her clothes, and look how I have saved them in my phone, and now look at how I’m showing them to you, oh look at how great I am and how easy she is.

I just don’t see the purpose of it. Why are you adding to the problem? What do you gain? I’ve sat at tables with the very same men thinking they were good people. How could I’ve not known? How could I be so naive even after everything I’ve been through. Why do I still hope and wish that there’s good left in this world even when it continuously proves me wrong? I don’t know why I do that.

And then there are the men, who look at these pictures and come and tell me, don’t worry about it, you looked hot. And I say “Haha.” Yes, “Haha” as in haha look at the clown I am and look at me not being able to call you out on your shit.

A few weeks back I was sexually assaulted twice. One I slapped back for and the other was in my sleep which I had to yell out so they’d stop touching me. But after these two accounts within the same day, when I demanded people not invade my private space and to stand a bit further away even while standing, I was told I just thought everyone wanted to get into my pants. A woman can’t even demand decency without a man belittling her.

There’s no advice I can give to anyone who’s going through the same because it will feel like absolute shit and worse in my case, I tried to justify it saying I deserved it.

Truth is, no one deserves such. It’s just among us are animals who feel so powerless that to assert authority over people they do shitty things. Shitty things that inflate their ego. And their shitty friends who applaud them for it. And that’s their motivating factor, to become a stud among the gang by stripping off someone’s innocence forever.

These men forget they were birthed by mothers, are married to women, who then give birth to their daughters, who will one day more or less likely become victims of a mindset they set in motion.

    I don’t know what you did in your past and i have no right to judge you, so i won’t. And yes no one deserves this.

    Lets say that this particular topic “revenge porn” is the elephant in the room in this country. It has destroyed so many lives yet now one openly talks about this. it’s a huge issue that in my opinion needs to be intervened by the authorities. But sadly none of the so called responsible authorities have done anything to prevent or educate the society regarding this matter.

    Undoubtedly it’s lack of common decency and morality among our society that is fueling this. I don’t know what has gotten into men nowadays. How did we as a society stoop so low, how irresponsible, do they even have any idea of the repercussions of their actions.

    Men are supposed to protect women, instead here men are throwing women into packs of wolves.

    I guess life is difficult because of this. But don’t loose hope, for there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
