A Metal Fashion Statement

Oh JOY! Chastity Belts! Chastity belts are like, so in right now.

Whatever the reasons women wore it last time, here in Malaysia, we women are encouraged to wear it because apparently it reduces rape in the country.

A man may stalk you and once they find you alone, they will jump on you, rip your clothes apart and woe is he!There is the CHASTITY BELT! Now he cannot rape us! Because there is this big chunk of metal between his sick desires and his ability to fulfill them.

You see the indisputable logic behind it? Cant you?

You see, we women are the reason for rape being so rampant in society these days. Its the way we dress, the way we entice the men with our "inappropriate" behaviour, and our innate ability to arouse rational sensible thinking men with just the lack of cloth on our bodies. Men have no control over their loins you see? If a woman were to be naked on the streets, these men have no control and have this impossible urge to go forth and multiply, hence the need to rape the woman if he does not agree to his advances.

Therefore, because men have this great urge to go forth and multiply and any temptation before his eyes will not be ignored or avoided, we women have to be the one taking action to stop it. Hence, we don the oh so fashionable chastity belt. (The current bubble skirt trend will go so well in covering the bulk!)

Or dress kids so young they cannot tell the difference between their legs and their noses, in long sleeved tops and long pants as well as tudungs. That is to tutup their "aurat". In the first place, these children are so young, they cannot be viewed as a sexual being. Why should any part (other than the necessary regions) of their body be covered? Do these children actually understand why they are dressed like that? Who views them as being able to entice men?

Ok, so I may have digressed.
So here is the conclusion for part 1:Men in power make stupid statements. We cannot run away from that. Men in power in Malaysia make VERY stupid statements. Unfortunately for us, if we think about it, we put them in power.

Part 2: Parents should understand their religion better before they impose it on their children. And let the child at least be old enough to tell the difference between right and wrong, and sometimes left and right before you insist they cover their bodies. For godssakes, some cannot even tell the difference between spongebob square pants and mickey mouse! Give them a break.

Life is hard enough as a woman and a kid. Someone needs to cut us some slack.
