It seems we've marked out today to talk about
rape cases. Like we know rape is having carnal knowledge of one without
one's consent. Once rape is mentioned the victims that comes to mind are
the ladies. Well this post is centered on male victims of rape.
When a man complains of being raped he is often made fun of and
dismissed as a joker whose sole aim is to gain attention. We forget that
men get raped, little boys also gets
raped. Little boys sometimes gets violated sexually by ladies or even by
older men. We hear of cases where a little boy is violated by their house-help or aunties or cousins. The problem is that nobody tends to
take them seriously as they take female rape cases. When a female is
raped she MOST times (emphasis on most cause it is not always the case)
withdraws into her shell and sees men as evil, some even turn lesbians
for fear of men. Whereas when a young boy is constantly raped he
OFTENTIMES (emphasis on oftentimes as it may not always be the case)
gets addicted to sex when he gets older, he gets promiscuous and always
has dis urge to have sex. While people sympathize wit young boys the
grown raped men gets no love or pity 4rm people as he is often accused
of liking it if not that he wouldn't have had and maintained an erection.
Late last year a man came to court with a case of being raped by
numerous women who threatened to kill him with dangerous objects if he
didn't comply. The court made a mockery of him and dismissed him saying
how impossible it was. He got no justice and had to live with the
psychological trauma (yes we guys have psychological traumas too, it's
not only peculiar to only girls). Another case I read about happened in South Africa, where a man was raped at gun point, was rubbed a cream
made solely to make a man retain his erection for hours, and raped him
continually for hours without protection till he passed out. He was
later confirmed to have gotten HIV from those ladies. I recently heard a
story of a young boy raped to death by some girls funny thing is his
sister joined in raping him, according to them the boy was too handsome.
When a man is raped the reaction you get from people is, "that serves him
right", "maybe he got raped by angry ex-girlfriends", "the guy na D'banj wey do
go rape"? "Make he talk true wetin he go do", "God is paying him back
for his bad deeds". Some guys would say, "dat guy na idiot, wetin person
dey luk 4 he dey complain, d guy weak joor". U see no sympathy and no
love 4 a male rape victim. As we fight against rape, let's include men
also because we too are fragile *rolling my eyes* at least some of us.
Should we also blame the men for dressing indecently? SAY NO TO RAPE
