Made In Her Image

I was asked to answer an interesting question on Quora:

What Would Happen If Women Had The Same Muscle Power As Men?

It's a good question and the answer is - initially - a hell of a lot more rape. God doesn't make mistakes, which is why you wear clothes to conceal your shame of being created in Her image. 

"Don't think too much!"

I understand that helps.

In Greek mythology, truth is hidden in plain sight:

In our surreal and unnatural reality, if marriage ("Till Death Do Us Part"), cosmetics (fraud), clothes (compulsory objectification) and violent discipline (for having fun without hurting anyone) are anything to go by, women are a little shaky on the concepts of consent, "free will" and (the John Stuart Mill definition of) liberty.

The damage to children sustained by Janet Jackson's dangerous mammary gland aside, there would be some positives if women were the same size as men. For example, they could fight their own indecent wars and that would be a relief.

Contrary to the propaganda fed to brave boys by their mothers (that war is an adventure for heroes and that any traitorous cowards who don't fancy killing or dying at the hands of innocents defending their homes deserve to be stigmatised, harassed and incarcerated), war is actually a horrific mess of unthinkable trauma that amounts to naked cannibalism.

Boys don't fight wars for fun.

It Is Not Easy To Become Sane

Thai society was rocked last week by a particularly grisly crime. A 13yo girl sleeping on an overnight train to Bangkok was attacked in her bunk, violently raped, strangled and thrown out of the window like litter. An autopsy determined she died from skull fracture. A 22yo rail employee confessed after he was caught selling the victim's iPhone.

The murderer (in a bulletproof vest) reenacts his crime for the investigating team.

Thai social media has been inundated with rage. You expect a degree of irrationality but I've yet to see anything like this. They're not even making sense. The death penalty already exists for murder but people don't want him facing the firing squad for murder, they want the murderer executed for rape.
