Women will never be an INSTRUMENT and it is so wrong to blame them but a lot of older people are comparing us to the older generation. They blamed us for what we wear or what we are doing. However, remember this:
1. Maria Clara wore modest clothes and our grandparents told us that she should be a model to us but her modesty is not enough. She is still raped.
Lesson: Her clothes is not inviting at all but it still happened because it is in the person's personality.
2. Maria Clara is surrounded by holy people. However, she is raped by a person that most of the people thought is kind.
Lesson: Lust can overshadow kindness.
3. Maria Clara experienced a lot of pain but she still shut up.
Lesson: That is because she knew that there are still authorities who will cover up to what her rapist did to her.
You see Maria Clara as an idol for modesty and her action is not inviting for men but she is still manipulated by a man who disrespect her as a human. It's not the clothes that invite them or the way we act in front of them. It is about the rapist himself. If that mindset of blaming continues, our freedom will also be gone. That's why we don't want and we will never be silent.
No matter how drunk we are, how wild are actions are or how short are shorts are, you have no right to touch us without consent. LET US ALL END THE RAPISTS' MINDSET AND NOT THE FREEDOM OF WOMEN. LET US ALL THINK OF THAT.
