#EndRapeCulture

Το υπέροχο blog της Λίζας έκανε μια συγκλονιστική δημοσίευση και δεν μπορούσα παρά να την αναδημοσιεύσω!

Το hashtag #EndRapeCulture είναι μια παγκόσμια κίνηση για να μπει επιτέλους ένα τέλος στην "υποκουλτούρα του βιασμού". Τι εννοούμε με αυτό τον όρο; Την "ενοχοποίηση" του θύματος, καταρχήν. Μια γυναίκα (ή ένας άντρας αντίστοιχα -γιατί, παρόλο που είναι σπανιότερη αυτή η περίπτωση, με ένα βιασμό θυματοποιούνται και τα δύο φύλα) δεν πέφτει θύμα βιασμού ούτε επειδή ήπιε, ούτε επειδή ήταν ντυμένη ούτε καν επειδή δεν πρόσεχε. Πέφτει θύμα επειδή κάποιος την ΒΊΑΣΕ. Γιατί η κοινωνία αντί να διδάσκει "μην βιάζεις" διδάσκει "πρόσεχε μη σε βιάσουν". Επιπλέον, δεν υπάρχουν "γκρίζες ζώνες" ή "θολά περιθώρια". Δεν υπάρχει "μη συναινετικό σεξ". Τι θα πει "στην αρχή δεν ήθελε, αλλά μετά της άρεσε"; Σεξ υπάρχει μόνο με συναίνεση, σε κάθε αντίθετη περίπτωση μιλάμε για βιασμό. Τέλος, η πλειοψηφία των θυμάτων που βρίσκουν το κουράγιο να μιλήσουν ανοιχτά για την επίθεση που δέχτηκαν, αντιμετωπίζονται με καχυποψία και συχνά δέχονται κατηγορίες ότι "λένε ψέματα", ότι το "φαντάστηκαν" ή ότι "τα λένε όλα αυτά για να τραβήξουν την προσοχή". Για όλους αυτούς -και ακόμη περισσότερους λόγους- ενώνουμε όλοι τις φωνές μας ώστε να μπει επιτέλους ένα τέλος στην υποκουλτούρα του βιασμού.

Αν τα παραπάνω στοιχεία δεν σας συγκλόνισαν αρκετά, διαβάστε αυτό και αυτό.

Daemons

The devil's at his strongest while we're looking the other way, like a program running in the background silently, while we're busy doing other sh1t. Daemons, they call them. They perform action without user interaction. Monitoring, logging, notifications. Primal urges, repressed memories, unconscious habits. They're always there, always active. We can try to be right, we can try to be good. We can try to make a difference, but it's all bullshit. 'Cause intentions are irrelevant. They don't drive us. Daemons do. And me? I've got more than most.

For you...

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
I would give the very breath from my chest
To give you all the things that my mind couldn't bear
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I'd love to walk away and pull myself out of the rain
But I can't leave without you
I'd love to live without the constant fear and endless doubt
But I can't live without you
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

- My Immortal, Evanescence

To my beloved sister...

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

-Mirrors, Justin Timberlake

Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallell on the other side
