This too important to me not to share. This extends from rape to every situation where one person feels they have the right to over-step a boundary that will cause another person of any gender, race or any other classification to feel violated, harmed or victimised. Being in a relationship does not entitle either party to own or control the other..... being a human means you treat every other human the way you believe you should be treated...... I have always questioned the seemingly trivial exhortations that we should never leave enticing items on view in locked cars or property for fear of tempting thieves for example...... where are the campaigns telling us not to steal, rape or murder...... why is the onus on victims to take responsibility for other peoples harmful actions - the perpetrators make the first choice and they should bear the consequences. There can be reasons, but there must never be excuses for unacceptable actions ..... and there IS a difference...... I am blessed to know so many men who would never abuse a woman intentionally and who are open to learning how to co-operate in a relationship.....and vice versa...... as soon as you remove responsibility from someone in this sort of situation you also deny them the benefit of learning, growing and changing...... so both parties lose. Why is emotional evolution such a slow, encumbered and brutal process??????
