with the soweto incident about a 17 year old mentally challenged teenage girl been gang raped by 7 boys last week,two debates were arised by thess incidents. Are women the weaker sex to always be the victims of sexual abuse? And the question about parenting? what really surprised me was during my Media Class were one guy said we as girls have adopted the habbit of sleeping over our boyfriends houses without our parents consent.
Then i asked myself are we gonna be blamed for everything that endagers our lives, it was about the two girls who were chased by the taxi drivers at noord in johannesburg, people argued that the two girls asked for it. Why is that everytime our rights are being violeted as women by the opposite sex and the answers is alawys the asked for it? When are we gonna draw the line?
it is just sometime non-verbal communication playes a big role that is why females are always blamed
ReplyDeletetrue as the famous saying says action speaks louder than words, but the peoblem is women rights are being violated
Deleteits a serious problem faced by wemen not only is SA but everywhere,women are still seen as weaker than men. but after all kgauhelo its up to you (as young educated women)to change this stereotype and perception of "women are weaker than men". wake up and do your best in changing ths,
ReplyDeleteif our government can start by reinforcing seroius laws on those who take women rights for grantented then shall pave for us citizens
DeleteOne day I was wearing my short and it happened that I meet 2 guys,they greeted me and i did not reply then they said"WHY WEAR THAT SHORT THING IF YOU NOT INTERESTED IN GUYS"?I choose not to answer them,then posed a question to maself that when i wear something short does it mean im supposed to to be called names or even get silly comments...This must come to an end!
ReplyDeletethis is the stereotypes which are accepted by the opposite sex and use force to implement them to others, it is just rude to call people names because of their dress
DeleteI think this also happens to men.Last week two women in Soweto also found guilty for raping a 17year old boy who is mentally ill.This incident occured a week after the incident of a gang rape.
ReplyDeletethis goes to show how violation of rights has become a problem in our country, how are we gonna survive this world of labels? everything in SA is being labelled
Deletewhich then brings us to the question wether cloths define us? i think with all the stereotypes we face these days it is best that we represent our selves in a best way so that we could avoid such incidents because as people we have dofferent interpretations on society, life and people behaviour
ReplyDeletebrenda you need to also know that we live in a democratic world whereby everyone can do anything that they have the right to because our constitution promised to portect us but it is failing us
DeleteThat guy wasnt suppose to say that ,that doesnt mean if girls sleep over boys houses girls must be raped that totally unfair....
ReplyDeletetrue, it doesn not mean that if me an my boyfriend reach a mutual, then i am asking to be raped
DeleteThere is so much behind the story it is just that we cannot seem to understand the whole thing because of the way the media is framing the situation.
ReplyDeletemy concern is about how people will just have a negative comment about every bad thing that happens to women as say "she deserved it" it is wrong nobody deserve to be punished because of her sex
