An apology from us women

I come from a land where EVERY woman who has ever been born has faced SOME harassment of some sort.

In response to that, I just have to say one thing.

I cordially apologize to all you men folk from all of us women. We are CLEARLY asking for it.

The audacity of us that we’d go out in public wearing western clothes. Or, if not western clothes, like, pure bangali clothes, then not having our ornas in place. (An orna is a piece of garment used to cover women’s chest region)

Or, if we DO have that in place, (which, of course we never do), for not having our heads covered.

If we DO have our heads covered, for not doing PROPER hijab.

If we ARE doing proper hijab, we’re sorry we’re not wearing a burkha.

If we ARE wearing a burkha, we’re sorry for not wearing one that leaves our entire silhouette obscure and covers our entire face.

AND, if we ARE doing THAT also, then….well….we’re probably hinting our desire to be taken by onlookers through the corner of our eyes…

And, we’re also sorry on behalf of those of YOU boldly asking for it.
Because, come on, a REAL man never gets raped!!
The rapist must have confused him for a girl because he’s so effeminate. *Cue laughter*

So yes, from all of us women and all of you men not MAN enough ( thereby making you WOMEN) , we’re “Sorry”.

And, for all of the parents in the world who’re teaching your children it is justifiable to rape a girl based on her clothes and her whereabouts, you guys….SPOT ON.
Thank god for you people….dragging us towards the path of light.
Thank you.
I hope, there are more of us like you guys, and I’m POSITIVE, there will be.

So that’s that. We’re sorry. You’ve been right all along :’) :’)
