Lock up your boys

really?

Women notoriously underreport rape
for personal reasons of fear
of shame

now think of boys/men
who live in a world where they have to be strong
where they can't show emotion as readily as girls/women still can
and imagine how often they would underreport it

yea, it's that bad

But my whole schtick
if one is to call it that
is to teach children to not be afraid
to follow their instincts
to not panic
to fight if need be*
because we aren't around 24/7 to protect them

but what we really must do beyond this
is to look deeply at the root causes of rape
and address those 
or it will keep going as it always has been
it's a vicious cycle
a horrendous predatory habit imprinted on the psyche
and we as a society
must address it face on
to stop it


*even if they are fighting with love
although that is truly a very underhanded way to fight
as it supposedly incapacitates your enemy
99.99 to infinity percent of the time
which I've been told equates to 100% by default
but tell that to the .0000 to infinity 1 percent
or the people pleading for their lives
as they are killed by those that are so filled with hate
but I suppose it is better to die with love in your heart
and peace in your soul
rather than anger
and bitterness
how can a soul rest
with that
