Psycho-biological meaning of rape.

 In this blog, I will be talking to males only.
 -------------------
"I will rape you" biologically means "I will forcefully deposit my sperms in your uterus."

You have seen in Hindi movies of the 1970's through 1990's, that the heroine, cornered by the villain, tearfully and fearfully pleads him not to rape her, or she will be destroyed, she will be 'dishonored', and she will have to live shamefully the rest of her life. (That the hero intervenes at the moment and saves her, is a part of the fictional screenplay).

Why is the reproductive system of females highlighted so much in our society? Why does her 'honor' depend on her biological virginity? Why is the woman considered to be simply a baby-producing machine?

Why is a man's virginity never questioned? Because it cannot be verified? Because there is no proof that whether he has had sex before or not? So there is no apparent "loss" of virginity. Women, on the other hand, lose their virginity once, and for all. That's why Ram questioned Sita's chastity and asked her to undergo Agni Pariksha (Virginity test, checking for Ravan's sperms). Ravan had not raped the hostage Sita, and so she tested negative. Still, back in Ayodhya, Ram questioned her virginity again, and this time, asked her for an Agni Pariksha in his open court. Sita felt so thoroughly insulted that she committed suicide on the spot.

Notice : Sita never questioned Ram's virginity/chastity even though he also was away from her during her hostage days. Is sexual 'purity' limited to women only? Don't men need to be 'pure'? If a guy sleeps with 5 women, he is a stud. If a girl sleeps with 5 men, she is a slut, right? Yaar, tired of these double standards of this male-dominated society!

Do you respect your sperms? Do you reserve them exclusively for your wife or do you pass it on to any woman indiscriminately? Are your sperms cheap that they can be scattered anywhere, even uninvited? If you have to force yourself on a woman,  it means your sperms are not welcome. Only your wife can ask you for them.

Can a woman rape a man? From now onwards, Yes! The sexual self-esteem of females has been growing.  She will not beg her husband to "give" her sex. Whether sex will happen or not is not does not depend only on the man. No more marital rape, please! You need to ask your wife whether she wants sex tonight. Watch the movie ASTITVA (Tabu) for details.

Beauties of Nature for me

Seen

1) March 23-26, 1996 : Comet Hyakutake.



The first surprise. I saw a "tailed star" for the first time.
I was too young in 1986 to watch the Halley's comet.









2) March-May 1997 : Comet Hale-Bopp.

My best teenage memory.

For a whole 2.5-3 months, Comet Hale-Bopp brightened up the sky.

The end of February first brought it to the pre-morning sky, where I saw a huge-tailed bright comet like a conspicuous stain in the star-studded sky.

By the end of March, this guy was in the evening sky, as almost bright as the planet Venus, with a bushy tail.




3) October 24th, 1995 : 98% Solar Eclipse.


Began at 7:30 am.

Did not need a pin-hole camera : the tress and plants around provided thousands of them.

The 98% eclipse came a little before 9 am.






4) Feb 20th, 2008  : Total Lunar Eclipse.


A classmate in the Sanskrit class earlier in the day told me about it. And for a couple of hours, I watched "Rahu" swallow the moon, and yet she was visible as the coppery red disc.






5) December 1999 :  Gemenid Meteor Shower.




It was the night of Dec 13-14. Just an hour's observation  treated me and my sister with several Geminids, about one every 3 minutes.






Yet-to-be seen

1) Aurora Borealis/Autralis.



This colorful light show would be an absolute visual treat. If I move to Norway, I would have ample opportunities.






2) Tsunami.


God forbid! I would want to see it, but only after the coast has been evacuated by a warning at least an hour ago.

A Tsunami reiterates how powerful Nature is. And how much energy is in store, yet to be harnessed for the use of the mankind.




3) Leonid Meteor Shower.


I missed the grand Leonid meteor shower in November 1999. It was hardly visible from India. On the night of the highest activity, I saw a lone meteor at 2 am. It was a bright, greenish snake zooming across the zenith.

Nature is so very beautiful. Why do we dirty it? Why are we destroying the environment? Why do we use plastic? Why are we polluting our Mother Earth? Why are we so ungrateful?
