    An Open Letter To Whoever This Guy Is

    Another attack on women makes me contemplate what makes men attack women in the first place.

    Dearest you,

    Last Saturday you attacked two young women and attempted to sexually molest them. This happened quite close to my house and as a consequence I feel that my safety has been compromised. After reading the news story on the attack I walked to the supermarket after the sun had gone down. I decided not to take the short cut down the alley way and also not to use my headphones on my way there. 'This is unfair' I thought. 'I should be able to walk to the supermarket down the alleyway and listen to Jay Z without fear of being sexually harassed.' I then proceeded to think about all of the clever ways I would emasculate you with my wit, laughing at the fact that you probably would not be able to understand most of the words I would use (like 'emasculate' for example).

    It then struck me that it was highly possible that you wouldn't be able to understand most of the incredibly clever words I would use. I realised at that moment that I felt sympathy for you because it's also highly likely that you don't understand a lot of other things as well, for example, the fact that women should be respected, that, yes, they are different to you but different doesn't mean wrong or less than equal.

    I then got to thinking that maybe there were things that happened in your life that shouldn't happen to people. This is all just conjecture but I assume that's why you think it's ok to hurt people. I'm also going to assume that no one ever cared to explain to you why people shouldn't be hurt, no one ever apologised for the hurt that they caused you.

    But maybe I'm totally wrong and maybe you're just some jerk that really enjoys hurting women, or people in general. But there would be a reason behind that too. There's a reason that you are the way that you are and I guess I'm writing this letter to explain to you that you should explore that. If no one else in your life is going to tell you this, then let me, a random stranger who has never actually seen your face in real life, tell you that it is really unacceptable to hurt women physically, mentally or emotionally. There are consequences for all of your actions so you need to explore the reason why you did this or the reason why you feel that this is acceptable behaviour. If you don't explore this your actions will be your demise.

    I wish that I could direct you to a link to some website that helped people with sociopathic tendencies but there really isn't one. I'm not going to lie, it will be difficult for you to change because you'll have to explore the depths of your own mind. If it's anything like my mind it will be a frightening, surprising place but I urge you to take that first step.

    Anyway, I hope you stay home this weekend so that I can go out and party.

    Have an important day : )
