|  || Wednesday, January 06, 2010 ||  I've been wanting to do this post for a long time, found a good opportunity, so here goes. "A video of a woman being groped at a New Year countdown party has sparked the outrage of netizens. The 30-second video posted on various citizen journalism platforms, Stomp and omy.sg show a woman in bikini being groped by at least four men. The incident happened at the New Year countdown party at Sentosa's Siloso Beach at about 11pm on 31 Dec.Deejay Daniel Ong, who co-hosted the party said the woman "mooned the crowd" prior to the incident and was "visibly high". Police said no report has been lodged over the incident." I got this short article off The Electric New Paper website as soon as Sara told me about the incident. Now I can be very feminist, but I think sometimes we women just ask for it. I mean come on, when incidents like such happen, I don't even get as angry at the men as I do at the woman. The article states that the woman was "mooning the crowd", which means that she was exposing herself in a slutty way, and if this was really the case, then she deserved it. I mean seriously, if you display yourself as such in public, which man wouldn't want to take advantage of it? Sometimes we females give the headstart to men, and then we cry out and say that we're being taken advantage of. First of all, respect yourself. If you display such slutty behaviour in public, then you're obviously sending out all the wrong signals to the people around you. There's a difference between having a provocative face, and actually displaying provocative behaviour. If you were minding your own business and not doing anything outrightly loose in public, and people were to pass judgements, comments, or men were to touch you, then of course that's something to be taken action upon. But if you are purposely behaving/dancing/wiggling your ass in such a manner, then are men wholly to be blamed for wanting to touch you? I'm not heartlessly saying that the woman is in the wrong; both parties are. It's not wrong to go out and have fun on occasions whatsoever. But be mindful of yourself. I'm not only referring to this article specifically. I'm saying it on a general note. So many girls these days are going wild, and alot of cases of girls being molested or raped are being surfaced. It's so damn unfortunate if they happened to be just minding their own business or innocently walking under their block when such a horrible incident takes place. But what about those girls who purposely send out such signals in the name of "just having fun", or the ones who make themselves seem like sex kittens all over the internet? Sure you might be having fun. But no matter how much you think that it's just harmless fun, eyes watching you don't feel the same way. It can be taken as an open invite to come have "fun" with you. In which case, you're also to be blamed. Respect yourself, and all due respect will be given back to you. It angers me to know that sometimes when guys take advantage of girls, it's also because the girls have given them the space to do so. In alot of instances, guys call girls sluts and whores, but only because the girls themselves have done something to prove that infact, that is true. I repeat, I am not saying that it's right for guys to label girls as such, but hey, if we don't give them the chance nor reason to do so, then sensibly speaking, why would they? And as for the onlookers at the incident who just stood there and took pictures, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??? Respect yourself. Be mindful of the behaviour you display in public. And all due respect will be given back to you. And if you still get guys trying to grope your ass, give them a nice, tight slap, and then make a scene. |
