ALWAYS blamed for rapes, you tell me what will this lizard do ? Men here don’t even spare animals while raping. From an infant to toddler to cows to goats to now a lizard with razor sharp teeth has been raped. You tell me, who’s the problem here ? The perpetrators or the victims? What is more easier ? Making all victims feel more horrible than they already do and make them more cautious and restrict them OR educate about sex & consent ????9?2 Remember how recently a WOMAN CM victim shamed a 14 year old for being gang raped? How many more people need to be assaulted, die and fight to make people understand who and what the problem really is ??” in her post.
