Random Thoughts on Nicole's Case

  • I never really had a concrete stand on Nicole's Case.
  • I couldn't understand why some of the groups from the 'left' use Nicole to highlight the assumed evilness of Americans.
  • Although it's never an excuse to rape a drunk lady, the idea that there's something wrong with the raped lady still remains. I mean it's every girls responsibility to protect herself. Should you get drunk along with people whom you just met (and are foreigners) places you in a big big risk of being raped.
  • If the judgement (that Smith is guilty) is correct, then I'm happy that the perpetrator will now suffer his evil deeds. But then, (as other people think) Nicole should also learn her lessons.

Big Question:

How could someone who's professional and good looking would venture into rape? Yeah, Smith is good looking and he could get the girls he wants. Actually, he can afford to pay for a prostitute and satisfy his sexual desires. Pero, bakit kailangang mang-rape?

Because rape is not about sex, it's about power.

Rape is violence, violence is about power. Apparently, it explains why someone like Smith (professional and handsome) would be involved in such crime.

If forced sex is just a tool to unleash that crave for power (since it's the most powerful way of degrading women), does it mean that in rape cases, sexual desire is not a motivating factor for venturing into rape?

Naisip ko lang, incest cases is also a show of power? Hindi talaga sadyang mataas ang sexual desire level ng mga ng rapist? How about those in prison? Di ba may mga nang-rereyp ng mga kapwa nila dun sa selda? Is it still a show of power (dahil ang common na na-titira eh iyong mga bagong salta)? Or it is possible that those who exercise such act are just longing for sex (dahil deprived sila)?

Oh, am I making sense?
