I know the title of this post could be silly or serious and maybe we all need a little bit of both. But unfortunately this one is a bit more serious as for the times we are in. And something that I feel has been impressed upon me for the last week.
It’s possible that as the world increases in chaos that the issue of rape continues to grow. I may be wrong but I just think it’s possible.
Anyway, I was dwelling on a key aspect of this Biblical account of rape: It’s important for the woman to scream for help.
Why?
I think there’s a primal instinct in a man to battle and conquer. Unfortunately weak men full of lust will tend to choose women who in most cases, have less physical strength than men–an easy, cheap win for a feeling of power. A women should resist and fight back with vigor and try to escape, but this is not enough.
- When a woman yells loudly for help, it is a huge turn off. It puts that man on the defensive and is a huge aggravation to his selfish intent.
- It signals to anyone hearing that this is not consensual sex. Screams of distress are witness.
- You need help getting away from such a man.
Women. Yell for help. Loudly. This is Biblical and it is wise beyond just calling for help.
And who knows.
Maybe a man of righteous courage is near.
