#UpRootingTheRapeCulture

Have you realised how much we get concerned gore a 2 year old girl a ikgabetse, how a 5 year old should dress,dance and walk because we fear for her being raped or sexually molested,in her innocence we are conditioning her to know she is a sexual object, free play is not her priviledge. The heartache is, surely someone out-there will think of making her a meal.
The moment she reaches puberty, they start giving her the ‘looks’ and whisper to each other, “She is ripe”…. perverts.. planning to lure that vulnerable young girl into their den— or they start becoming a regular at her home where her mother welcomes them and doesn’t question where her young girl got the money to buy new shoes and the groceries she brings…

Indirectly we have conformed to the sexual offenders, we think they are robotic individuals automated to act on their intrusive thoughts while they are the ones who know the difference between right and wrong better and use the advantage of power or strength over a child.
While we warn that child, let’s warn that predator as well because they are well known in our societies. We live and hang out with those predators without condemning their actions. Re nnetse gore “o mmone yoo mo baneng ba skolo” – some kind of warning praise while we rub shoulders with them …
it’s a shame, in our silence we are enablers of sexual violence.
Let’s divorce from such. Let’s stop smiling at their smart looks and heavy deep pockets while they are busy being psychological parasites. Dont condone them. We can do better.

Much love ❤️
Kelly
