Quoting femme_fatal: catwoman, we r happy ppl here, come and join our mutual adorators club! we dont want bad sad news! |
This is the problem - sometimes people do only as much as is absolutely necessary, if things look ok and happy enough they fail to keep questioning things and trying to improve themselves beyond that. Only necessity creates improvements, if something doesn't bother us directly, we don't want to be bothered with it. This doesn't mean that we have to take the responsibility for all the world's problems, it means that we responsible to do what we can - even if it's just to talk about important issues and raise awareness around us.
It is interesting how people behave when a tragedy happens. Suddenly they wake up and start blaming each other for the terrible event, they cry their guts out, pray to god, pull their hair out... etc because they don't get it - what happened? Weren't we such good people? We don't deserve bad things to happen to us, right? We didn't do anything bad!... Only that when things are GETTING BAD, most of the time we avoid the responsibility to take action because it doesn't affect us directly YET.
Only mature, responsible people notice things before they turn to a tragedy for themselves or for others and take action, aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and take the responsibility to do something.
We are talking about women's issues here. Most men don't give a damn about it, they might think we are funny... until their daughter, wife or mother is raped, beaten or killed in her self-defense or for no reason.

Catwoman, thank you for bringing this tread 'back on track' - I am also guilty of going off-topic, but it is such an important and relevant subject and it is being trivialised and 'glossed over' even on the 'on topic' posts. You are right, most men don't see or understand this issue until it affects them personally. And why not? It is a culture which gives them freedom from jealousy, guilt and responsibility.
I agree completely with what you say and only wish I could write with such eloquence and wisdom. Thank you
(Please dont EVER join the "mutual adorers club" ! )
