Taken from an emaiL (and agreed with sincerely):
A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all.
Instead of that bullshit, how about:
If a woman is drunk, don't rape her. If a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her. If a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her. If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her. If a woman is jogging in a park at 5AM, don't rape her. If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her. If a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her. If a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her. If a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her. If a woman is in a coma, don't rape her. If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her. If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her. If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her. If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her. If your step-daughter is watching TV, don't rape her.
If you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her. If your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend. If your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police. If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and report him as a rapist.
Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, and sons of friends that it's not okay to rape someone.
Don't just tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape. Don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x, y, or z. Don't imply that it's in any way her fault. Don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl. Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can too help yourself. Rape is not about sex, it's about control and power, and what kind of power comes from taking advantage of others? No power anyone should ever desire.
If you agree, repost it. It's important.

one should ask for the reasons why a couple should stay together..
instead of why shouldn't they..
isnt that so right?
things havent been going well with couples round me and its sending me the jitters.. but! of course i managed to not fall to the mass hysteria atmosphere. hopefully all's well ends well.. hope my friends/loved ones dont get hurt.. =)
wokies! bought xmas pressie for myself! gonna buy bdae pressie for myself too!! just dunno what yet.. haas..
love mumee.. with regards to the Guess watch she's getting me. haas! nah, and of cuz for being who she is, and the love she gave and continues to give me.. love ya mum!
and great thanks to jason too.. thx for listening.. and simply loving good(most of the time, expensive too) food with me.. =)
the Beijing trip sparked off the incessant missing of home esp mom, jill & daryl these days.. keep thinking of home and ran home from hall whatever chance i have.. one thing that is ironically good about staying in hall, is that it made me appreciate family and home more.. rather than treating home as a place to sleep after a day of fun OUTside, and taking family for granted.. =)
time to turn in! back to school tmr.. & finally, meet fung & gang for complete hg mac gathering at last..! =)

have this sudden sense of disgust at myself..
for not being able to complete things that i started out doing..
for giving up easily instead of persevering on..
loads of promises to myself not to repeat history over and over again but. yep. u know.
