So, we're back to the 16 days of activism against women and children abuse *long blank stare* seriously? Let me just recap on what happens every year at this particular time and for the next 14 days.
1. People act like the actually give a fudge about abused women and children.
2. South Africa spends money on creating ads that "create an awareness"
3. For 16 days, people who know nothing about abuse suddenly have an opinion.
Yeah, that's about it. I honestly still don't why all this waste of time and resources is necessary. As long as you've never been in position of abuse, you'll never fully understand people who are abused on a daily base. No amount of awareness and trash talk will influence an abuser to quit abusing people. It won't happen!
South Africa really needs to get over this obsession it has with patronizing women and trying to lift em up on some glass ground. Notice how its always "women this, women that?" Aren't they tired of always being the victims? Like seriously? What's with women and children that makes em the center of the universe? And konje who's against em in any case? Sure, we're all aware of the abuse rate in South Africa, we're also aware that seemingly the victims enjoy being victimized because no fully fleshed person would wanna hang around someone who mistreats em unless they feel as though they owe it to the person ill treating em...and well in most cases they silly women feel they deserve to be treated that way because "I love him"
So why do we bother. Why do we pause normal tv viewing with excruciating ads on how "I survived my abusive boyfriend" why do we even care about people don't mind playing small to someone else. Caring on their behalf won't make feel any more worthy of something better that what their living with.
I look forward to investing money in gambling institution.
