Why some men rape

MANY people have said that even grandmothers and small babies have been raped, yet they are not sexily dressed and the women's clothes should not be a factor in the rising number of rape cases in the country.

Don't these people know that rapists rape women of their fantasies? And under all the layers of covering, they know that there is still a woman, the “sexy” woman of their fantasies.

These rapists are normal human beings; they do everything that other men do. But deep inside them there is resentment. And with continued exposure to films, TV programmes, magazines and even newspapers that often show women wearing clothes that many people consider to be revealing, sooner or later, the rapists in them emerge.

Yes, believe it or not, sports too encourage such men to dwell on their weird fantasies especially when they see young women and under-aged girls wearing skimpy clothes or swimsuits live on TV.

The quest to win gold medals in sporting events have even forced pious Muslim women in Malaysia especially to discard their religious values on aurat, and the sports and other political authorities too don't seem to mind.

Olympic gold medals, or even the lowly ranked South-East Asian Games or SEA Games bronze medals are enough temptation for these women to push aside religious values.

And these potential rapists are everywhere. They may be your close friends, relatives or husband, but they are not rapists yet if they do not have the victims.

And the victims are not those women they often see in the media wearing skimpy clothes because these women are often in the company of other women and men. And they do not parade their skimpy clothes in the secluded areas, but in public places.

However, there are some women and girls who go about on their own, riding motorcycles in the woods, walk in a deserted lane to go to college and go to the deserted car parks at night with their equally young boyfriend because they had seen movies showing young couples doing the same thing.

The girl thinks just because her young boyfriend is there, she is also safe. But doesn't she realise that if they are confronted by several men who are older and stronger than the boy, she will become a victim?

I have read many cases of rapes taking place and they happened in secluded places including in the buses and taxis. Yes, the buses and taxis are forms of public transportation but only if there are many other passengers in them. However, if there is only a single woman passenger and the driver, then the bus and taxi can become another person's bedroom.

I hope those who say that even women and small babies have been raped, yet they are not sexily dressed and are too old or too young, must also admit the fact that these old women and small babies are not what they are to the rapists.

concernedheart says:

mansor putih,did you write this  when you are mentally well?
are you justifying the act of a rapist?

oh man,how could you say that sport women's dressing can provoke lust?your point of view is so immatured and ill.sports suppose to be a healthy programme for all age,mainly for teenagers and school students where it can be a good inspiration for them to join sports and spend their time fruitfully.

can i ask you something,by watching tv programmes you can provoked?do you how many of us watching tv daily all over the world????oh god,do you have a tv at home?who do you rape daily after watching tv programmes which casted by sexily-dressed women????

lets look at some statistics:
2,431 rape cases happened in 2006 (source: Polis Di Raja Malaysia, 2007)
total population in 2006: 26.64 million people
0.02% of Malaysian men rape women
so in your opinion the balance 99.98% of men who watch TV or read newspapers do not rape women??

mansor please clear my doubts...are you a rapist?

in my opinion the victim can never be pointed as the cause,mansor have you read fathers raping daughters? will you blame the daughter in that situation?if you are saying clothing is a factor,let me ask you something:
when a rich man gets robbed-will you blame him for being robbed because he is rich and not the robber?
cloths of a woman can never be a factor,its all about the man's self control and his inner moral in looking at things positively.

for instance,a medical student or a doctor will have to see a naked body almost the whole course or thruout his profession,just imagine if he doesnt inherit moral values and a positive mind-he might be raping daily otherwise!!!

failing to control lust,exposure to social illness and psychological disorders are main factors for a man to commit rape in my opinion.

about girls who are having boyfriends....mansor they dont have worry about the secondary risk(a stronger or elder person than her boyfriend),her own boyfriend(s) is her first risk i would say...this based on many incidents of girlfriends got raped by their own boyfriend(s).

and about the public transportation,
i have travelled many times alone in a bus since my stop is the last one,
there was never an occasion where the bus driver took advantage by transforming the bus into bedroom,mansor-ur suggestion on public transport is an insult for those dedicated bus drivers.
1000s of girls travelling by taxis daily,do we hear 1000s of rape cases in a day which committed by taxi drivers?
just because one or two drivers commit such a cruel act,we can judge the entire public transport drivers are transforming their bus and cabs into bedroom.

mansor stop being a narrow minded person!
brush up your mind and view before writting an article to the public otherwise you gonna get massive banging from readers!
