Being the young lad I am, it’s easy for me to brush off crucial incidences in life, just like brushing off the fact that too much sugar is bad for our health when we were young. Well today in my time right now it is, Rape. Today I got a very wide view of what sexual assault really is in a deeper level of understanding. Now I’m not saying I was an ignorant brat who didn’t care if people got raped or not, I just never came across an in-depth story or experience of what it’s really like to get me really feeling that it was devilish, of course I didn’t know many things, and that’s growing up. Of course I had sympathy for every victim either child, woman, man who have been raped, I just haven’t seen the entire view yet, till today.
I watched a movie out of the blues since no one occupied the TV and I found, “Wind River” on Netflix. It’s a movie about an investigation of the murder of a female out in Wyoming, and a female FBI under covering the case. At one point the movie displayed the scene of what really happened to the girl who was dead out in the snow barefoot with scars and bruises, Natalie. She came over to her boyfriends trailer to spend the night together. As usual, they were enjoying every moment of themselves on every word said. If I’m being very honest, I suspected the boyfriend was truly the murderer, as how I shaped it from what information was given about the incident in earlier scenes. Anyways, a group of his friends by surprise jumped in the trailer while both Natalie and his boyfriend suspected they shouldn’t be around town that day or night. Of course Natalie’s boyfriend was furious but chose to not show it but remain calm and cool. His drunk friend Pete kept insisting on wanting to see Natalie under her sheets, until he did. Pete got kicked out but decided to fight back instead. This later turned the whole drunkards disturbing a mans slumber with her lover into a scene involving her boyfriend attempting to fight off everybody defending Natalie, and eventually, her being raped.
It was the most heart-breaking scene I’ve ever witnessed my whole life, pardon me since I’m not an avid movie watcher. Any who, I kept watching with my eyes as open as an owls eye and my jaw dropping to the floor. I couldn’t believe what I have truly witnessed on my screen. It was nothing like pornography you find in those websites, it was hurtful, mean, arrogant, selfish, cruel, and wrong. I couldn’t look away at her eyes as I felt I recognized her every pain, her every soul being ripped into pieces carelessly. Being pinned down by someone you have zero chance with in terms of strength, and being harrased by a drunkard, just wishing you had strength to push him off and fight back, it’s not that simple however. It’s like being in a tight place and all of a sudden you kind of start overreacting of the little space in such a tight area, pretty sure that’s a known phobia but I can’t remember it's name. I felt anger and sadness stirring up inside me just wishing it never happened. Her eyes were as deep as the ocean and her pain was as emotionally excruciating. You can imagine how much more terrible it must be in real life since of course this was just a film, but still, I felt her pain through the screen and it gave me the feeling that it was real. What really goes on inside someones head while raping someone who’s crying because of your selfish act? Why must someone be so cruel? And it’s a shame we have people like these living among us. And it’s a shame that some cases are dropped too. Woman nor man should ever suffer such vile acts of pure cruelty and selfishness. It gets me angry, and this is not the right way to treat people.
I forever won’t be looking at rape the same anymore. The movie has changed my perspective overall strengthening my opposing side against Rape. Woman have less muscle than men, which naturally makes male physically stronger, but it should never be taken advantage of in levels that involve drastic and idiotic plays just to fill your empty ego. Never. Even though man are naturally stronger, there are also cases of men being sexually assaulted by women, and it shouldn’t be any different than what happened to Natalie. Meaning of Rape/ Sexual Assault = the crime of forcing someone to have sex against their will. What tragic must happen to all the victims under this, and I please consider for you to open up your book and share your story for all of us should support each other, none is left out. And even for those who are remaining in dark silence of their story for fear of tragic, please, don’t hide for too long. I forever stand with you and wish everyone to be extra wary of what you get into. Stuff like this are never right and shouldn’t be, nor should they be swept under the rug. I hope this has opened your eyes to a wider perspective of this crime, and hopefully strengthens your stance against Sexual Assault as it did to me. Goodnight <3.
