EYes it is extremely hard, and, sadly, will get even harder when she comes out in the open with what she faced. I agree it is totally her decision how to take things forward, it’s just that I am not okay with this. We need to stand up, even if it means making personal sacrifices, to change how things are around us right now. But that’s just my ideology.EI am really sorry if I was being judgemental. Being a man maybe I can never understand how you guys feel being judged at every step and living in shackles.
>Guilting her into this because it’s a societal responsibility is the worst possible approach and will traumatize her further.
I never wanted to give a guilt trip to you or OP and sincerely apologise if I was being such a d*ck.
Maybe I was triggered by seeing normalisation of such hideous crimes or I was being too idealistic or delusional.
>Do not infantalize her – she can make the right decision without you or her boyfriend deciding on her behalf.
I truly believe in what you said, it is totally her decision how to proceed with this and she is capable of making her choices in life.
SA is never a man x woman issue, and being someone who never gets even close to experiencing this sh*t, my opinion holds lesser regard to yours. I am too idealistic in my approach to life and see things in black and white. This is my character flaw, I recognise this, thank you for pointing it out. I just want society to be a safer place for everyone, and I want to eradicate this from our society.
Bottomline, unconditional apologies from OP, you and all women out there.
E>if neededYes, that will be gruelling… no doubt. But, is this personal struggle greater than one’s societal responsibility to create a safer society? Definitely not.
Being a lawyer, and a woman, you should be the one providing her with emotional and logical support for her future struggles.
Really disappointed here. 🙁
