Violence against women has revealed itself and reflects in everything that we do.
First is the act of violence, second is the coverup, third is the revelation, fourth comes the justification, fifth is the deflection, sixth is the sheer number and age variance of victims, seventh is the scale, eighth is the absolute submission of women to the knowledge that we are not safe and we cannot do anything about it.
Not all men were built to violate. But all men were built to protect.
Pause to think - who protects? What needs protection?
To nature all that matters is the birth and rebirth, and regeneration and evolution. Who carries that responsibility in the womb? Of course the one who has been given the gender of a woman at birth. The woman. The first gender. The queen bee. Women were supposed to be the heart of the lair.
Men were supposed to protect, not because she is weak, but because she carries the offspring, she carries life itself. She needs rest. She damn well knows her job and does not need command. She needs to rest while knowing that someone guards her gates. She is the mother. She is the nurturer.
Men were supposed to guard the gates, so that life can be birthed, species can be carried along. They were built to be the soldier who safeguard - the role of the protector, it is real. In all species.
But not in the way, human social atrophy has presented itself.
The protector has turned the tables because of raw power, and dismantled women from within. The one who was supposed to hold the power was systematically broken from within until she forgot that she ever had it.
The commander therefore became the king. And shoved a harem full of women into dark corners. Either submit or be witch-hunted. Be packed in clothes like parcels, like goods in transition. Like commodity.
Look at the world systems today - society, politics, religion, corporations - do you see nurture anywhere? Imagine if women were at the helm. They would have built systems that would care - unfortunately we cannot even imagine what that system would look like under the chaos in the world.
Patriarchal corporations are stuffing women into sweatshops and have not been able to create safety, despite measures. They have silenced people who question.
Households have told women - work is hierarchy, money talks. Earn money like a man, or be thrown in a corner.
Human beings - the most sophisticated species of the planet - have betrayed their own. The monkey kings have built money empires that will justify sweatshops.
National leaders who wage wars have men at their helms. And then they use their harem of slitherine women to justify their acts. The sisterhood has been corrupted.
And religion? What religion? Where man gods are at the head. Where Adam was the innocent guy whom Eve corrupted with the poisoned apple? Works well to stuff the apple forever in her throat and let her rest in guilt! And where the most diverse religion on this planet, hesitates to place Sita beside Ram. Where Buddha's enlightenment is built on Yashodhara's sacrifice
The women dead, the children dead. Often tortured, ra*ed at will, but always shoved back into dark corners. Violated, humiliated, commanded, trafficked, silenced.
Life began within women. Men built an entire system to make her forget it, calling it civilization.
Women will have to take up the sword. Not because it is their war, but because it was brought to their door, and the gatekeepers became the invaders.
Not all men, but all women were supposed to lead his command.
