My Breasts My Thighs My Butt Is Not Who I Am Jonathan Onche Edeh

With due respect to the woman, there is a clear difference between expressing one's sexuality and displaying one's sexuality. The former projects the woman as unique, different, and worthy of respect and admiration. While the later projects her as nothing more or less of an object of sexual pleasure and gratification, deserving of careless treatment. Today, the entities that drive the ideology of sex worship, idolatry, pleasure and gratification for its profiteering, has taken hostage the society woman, and recreated her image: redefined her purpose, persona, and altered her self-worth, to the point that even the woman is now a slave to her sexuality, as she does the bidding of the one who controls and drives her mind. How do we now handle this sexual deviancy- the fact that the urge for sexual gratification in today's world, no longer observes boundary lines? The sexual predator does not caution or restrain himself, at the sight of the visible erogenous zones- her developing breasts, thighs and buttocks of the girl, not to mention the woman. It no longer matters as long as his frame of mind affords him an unsolicited appeal of the body of the girl or teenager. Sadly, our societies have now become a place where most women and girls no longer feel safe, because the one who is supposed to make her feel safe has been turned against her, just as she has been turned against him, both exploiting themselves for gain, and making many victims of the innocent on both sides- predator and 'preydator' alike.
