You can see them wherever you go. In the bus you travel, in the streets you walk every day, in the places you visit every once in awhile. They’re everywhere. They’re all demons within whom humanity has ceased to exist. Just different faces. They try to get as close to you as possible, using the crowd as a shield to cover their impulsions. Their creepy eyes rummage through your body, waiting for the slightest display of your skin. You can feel their atrocious values digging under the lining of your clothes, right in broad daylight, in the presence of hundred others. Your disgusting looks fails to shame them and sometimes are even returned with nasty smiles that chills you to the bones.
Yet, you decide to silently walk by, pretending to ignore the comments passed on you. Yet, you decide to let it go when they fall on you every time the bus hits the break or when their hand “accidentally” brushes against your body when they walk past you. You fear to create a scene, fear they might avenge you later, fear of what people might say. Your fear is justified for there still are some who will blame it on you. Will say that you asked for it just because you dress a certain way or are friendly to certain people or aren’t home before dark.
But you know where the truth lies and that the only ones to be blamed are them. They will carry their sick mentality along with their sick intentions no matter what you wear, how you behave, where you go, or who you’re with. Their greedy eyes don’t differentiate, be she of 23 or just 6, wearing jeans or a pink frock. They are the people too sick to be humans.
And so, even though some of them don’t have any serious consequences, but that doesn’t make them right neither should it be able to stop you from voicing against it.
P. S. – Here’s my traditional weekend post. Hope you like it.
Let me know what you think. Comments and follows will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I can understand, we as a society are going down,does the solution involves raising voice…yes it does because part of the harassment comes from the mentality of proving the dominance. Very primitive but then it is.

Yes. We need to mentally prepare the girls on how to handle such situations instead of asking them to take preventive measures.

Thank you for turning the light on this. In the west, it is much more subtle. I say exposing darkness to the light causes it to flee! You are not alone in this…
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:6-9

Very important message indeed! We as a society need to teach more men to restrict their desires and confine their vicious actions. Educate them to respect and treat women as equals, not as objects to prey upon! The thinking of society needs to change and adapt, not the behaviour of women or their choice of clothes. Great post, cheers 🙂
