i swear to you i was trying to keep quiet.
i was trying hard not to say or write a word about this child marriage act everyone is discussing. when i saw this cover, I had no idea what i was going to read, it was the comments in the thread that led me to open the link. sigh. smh.
but this right here. that is the mother speaking. her voice
"She told officers she trusted the man even with her own life and never expected him to prey on her daughters. She said she read stories in the newspapers about children being sexually assaulted, but never thought for a moment, it would hit home as she considered herself to be an extremely cautious parent when it comes to her children."
the most derelict of mfers. the delusion, the myth of self. the lie and lies we tell ourselves is sickening, defying all sense, common, bought or borrowed. you are a cautious parent but sending your young girl children to walk the road by themselves. what part of this world and this trinidad that the sane and real vigilant would never ever do such a thing? Night or Day?
what grown mature wombmyn knows to trust zero man with your girl and boy children, not even their father. it was the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s 1960s that my grandmother i learned had a policy never to leave her girlchildren with their father, her husband, a corporal police, mr very serious everyone respected mister felix baptiste, the patriarch among six of his siblings, he being one of three boys and i am not sure he was the oldest. so you understand the dynamics. my grandmother an uneducated venezuelan grew up in the hinter hills of maracas riding donkey on hillside farms. She knew that back then. what wrong wid allyuh. was allyuh excuse/
and no one would tell her, fuck outta here, cautious and two girls walking the road unattended dont match. that is not equal equation maths. let alone trusting a man who is not even their blood, or any man at all.
so the reason why i was trying not to say a word about this child marriage thing is this story. that "child marriage" discussion is wrong headed, it is sa subset for a deeper, larger problem: Paedophilia, and the preying of young people, girls and boys, more the former, but in trinidad my common sense telling me not to even use that archaic ignorant language and differential any more... marriage just justifies, validates the predatory behavior, but this is not about child marriage. it is the preying on our children for sexual deformity and male dysfunction
That is the discussion.
and i bring it down to bottom line basics.
Protect those who cannot protect themselves. Protect the young,
the uninitiated, the innocent, those still growing.
Stop male domination and entitlement, which would be a full catchment of professionals raping grown women, and other male types raping children.
Sex without consent is violence, which then gets to us fully understanding violence.
When we get to understanding all this is about Violence, Entitlement and Male Domination in all forms. we will start to get somewhere, but no where is there space for this level of conversation.
the other bottom line i want to state that i was trying to avoid, is we as a country are yet to admit the rampant extent of sexual predatorship is normal and cultural. societal and accepted.
i saw someone asking for stats on child marriages. again then i cringed.
forget marriage. do you know how many of us come from a lineage of rape, and no i not talking about from slavery or indentureship.
merely ask us about our grandmothers, if you ever knew? my father's mother was raped at fifteen, .her oldest daughter,the result of that rape, my father's eldest sister, was also raped at fifteen. my father's niece, the eldest daughter of his youngest sister, she the mother, gave her daughter up at young teenage years to some grown man of early twenties cause he told her he was interested. statutory rape.
why do we not consider those women who offer their girl children up
why do we not awaken to how common grown and professional and titan men of this country took country bookie, young girls to wife. one of the biggest female lawyers in town her mother was a fraction of her famous lawyer father.
my point being, we need to break down the artificial barriers and languages that cut and dice child sexual predatorship between the powerful, the poor and the folk in between.
it is real deep cause this is a culture all about sex. more sex happening in the schools between equals than learning. so brother, I have no idea how to stem this thing. But long time now i see that as a form of boredom, lack of training, lack of productivity, guidance, so the poor of mind and spirit make activity of their bodies. that is something i figured out a long time ago. you give young children activity and responsible adult supervision, half of our societal problems will disappear. literally. but can that happen when the pool of beings are so regressive and degenerate., male and female in a maelstrom of Paedophilia: Sexual Predatorship, Promiscuity and Child Marriage in Trinidad and Tobago

"It becomes ......
for one to wonder.....
If by the comments being made by religious leaders...
If in some way, they are responsible for the prevalence sexual abuse in the least within their religious communities.......
Because if a man, in a particular religion, knows that he can marry a 12 year old, then by all means he may see no issue in having sex with the same 12 years old.... out of wedlock...
I am not saying this is what it is, I am asking if this could be so..... given such....."
