THE BUSINESS OF RAPE

Sunny Leone is the latest addition to the list of bimbos who have taken rape lightly. According to the ex-porn star, its 'surprise sex'. I come from a family where women and girls outnumber boys and are taken seriously. So this statement, or tweet, comes as a shocker to me. But, a quick glance around, and i realize its nothing personal; its just business.
Yes mam. From karate to karaoke for screaming, from pepper sprays to pocket knives, the fear of rape has triggered massive sales in self-defense. Women taking care of themselves is good. I encourage my cousins to carry these and even not to hesitate to stab the predator, whether the need arises or not.
Having said that, one thing has caught my attention. I believe it was specifically designed for this. The cover of magazines and tabloids are potraying rape. These range from hands, a girl cornered by a man, a girl with a hands clasping her mouth; this is promptly accompanied by headlines which scare you and compel you to either buy, or turn away. The content inside is statistics or cases of horrific incidents, narrated to the last gory detail.The news channels are not far behind. They have background music which range from heart stoppers to heart wrenchers. The composers get paid, along with the graphic artists.
Personally, i would say that all this is sickening to watch. You are bombarded by the harsh truth where ever you go. Is there a solution? I guess you do the same thing when you see a girl being teased ....just turn away because it's none of your 'business'.
