I Have Something to Say

Rape, incest, seduction, impregnation, abduction 😞

I feel lucky because i was born in this modern age. If i was born in the ancient times those thing might happened to me at any time casually. Seriously i feel like ancient woman have no value at all, even the mightiest woman like their Goddess was raped. Here i have the list of some sexual assault in the mythological era on some legends :

1. Goddess Hera the Queen of Olympus. She was raped by Zeus, she feel ashamed for that so she accept Zeus marriage proposal. What's more? Hera was Zeus sister 😑😑

2. Goddess Demeter was raped by Zeus and Poseidon. And yes you guess it right, Demeter was Zeus and Poseidon sister

3. Pershepone, the daughter of Demeter from Zeus was raped and abducted by Hades. And again.. Hades was Persephone uncle 🤦🏻

4. Europa seduced and abducted by Zeus in the form of a bull (bestiality 😱😱😱)

5. Leda also raped by Zeus in the form of a swan (bestiality again 🤦🏻)

6. Helen of Troy (daughter of Zeus from Leda) was raped and abducted by Theseus

7. Medusa (yes, THAT medusa) was raped by the mighty Poseidon

Well that's it for now. Crazy right? I mean.. if the ancient people can made up a story like like i can instantly figure out how the society back then under valued a woman.

If i was live in the ancient times i seriously feel like someone can rape and abduct me anytime they want like it was not a big deal 😢

But lucky for us modern woman, now everything has change and we can life more peacefully

This reminds me that the marry-your-rapist law existed in many cultures in the world until recently. It still exists in certain cultures. If you just google it you'll see.
This law and variations thereof allow a male rapist to escape prosecution if he marries the victim. Not much mention is made of what the woman or underage girl thinks of this.

It strikes me as basically giving the man permission to carry on raping her legally.

Human rights still have a way to go in our world in certain places.

@Wraithorn [c=#359E00]i feel disagree about this. Certain place have certain rule, we can't force our rule to them. We are right in our perspective, and they are right in their eyes perspective, all we have to do is respect differences[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion.
I can't help though to feel empathy for women or girls whose parents or government instruct them to marry their rapist. I think you will find that many women and girls commit suicide under such circumstances.

@Wraithorn [c=#359E00]I don't have Hero syndrome. I don't have thought that my rules is the best and everyone else must follow my rules. I don't have the urgency to save people and make them submit to my rules[/c]

@YukikoAmagi I understand that and I am not wanting to make those people in those cultures think like me. All I want is for those male dominated cultures and religious laws to to listen to the women who are being oppressed in such a terrible way. The problem is that such women/girls do not have a voice. They are equally important to men and should be listened to.

@Wraithorn [c=#359E00]let them do their way and let us do our way. That's all[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Fine. I'll just take my hero syndrome and go elsewhere.

YukikoAmagi

@Wraithorn [c=#359E00]good, we need less Hero on this world[/c]

@YukikoAmagi I don't get it? You're so offended by mythological characters, yet "live and let live" to those who are doing it today? Ok.... 🙄
