The Absence of Comments on Articles about Women’s Issues.

Dear Badru, thank you for taking the time to read and reflect; better even, to respond!

You just made me feel my mission was accomplished, because all my writing is done in the hope that it resonates and takes people out of their comfort zone; if I have at least made ONE person think critically or analytically, then I have succeeded.

To answer your question of why no one commented on my article: I feel that the latter I stated above — that people very much enjoy their seats of Complacency in the Movie of Life — is precisely the reason so few have responded.

Some men, because it’s a bit too close to the bone, and for them to reply, they would have to expose themselves, rendering their subliminally indoctrinated “Machismo” vulnerable.

Regarding the silence of women, well: that is exactly the crux of the problem.

There seems to be a rather disturbing trend, still today, of women not coming forth about their own issues; be they in the form of divorce, abortions, sexual abuse, or domestic violence. This is mostly due to self-flagellating feelings of shame and guilt.

All too often, if a marriage fails; if a Woman is abused or harassed, patriarchy deems it to have been her fault — as I mentioned in the article — and not of the philandering, abusive or absent male perpetrator.

Call to Action:

To all readers of this article, let’s create a thread/debate about how many of you feel about this article I wrote commented by Mr. Badru Borg.

I would very much like to hear both men and women’s thoughts and opinions on this issue. You are also of course, free to disagree with any of my discourse. Hail freedom of speech!
