Pelecehan dan kekerasan seksual hingga detik ini masih kerap terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia. Sebagai pihak yang paling sering mengalaminya, perempuan harus berusaha melawan tindak kejahatan tersebut dengan banyak cara. Seorang cewek dari London Utara yang memiliki nama pena The Rose ini memilih untuk mengemukakan pemikirannya lewat Twitter. Tanpa banyak basa-basi, The Rose menulis beberapa tweet yang telah membuka banyak pikiran banyak orang.
if a penis is being forced into a woman's vagina, it will hurt therefore the body will try to self lubricate because that's what it does

it is not a conscious thing, it's literally the body's reaction: it doesn't mean the woman is enjoying it
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
even if it physically "feels good", even if she has an orgasm, it doesn't mean she wanted it or enjoyed it
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
the body reacts, like that's what it does... it's not hard to understand
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
same way that those who are ticklish may not like being tickled or the sensation but they still laugh when tickled
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
just because they are laughing doesn't mean they find it enjoyable, it's just their body's reaction... they have no real control

some of you really need to understand the effects and implications of what you say, it truly doesn't make sense

do you know how many men and women who have been raped HATE themselves because they had an orgasm during the attack?
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
they didn't enjoy the attack, but they feel conflicted because their body responded in a way as if they did, their body turned against them
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
if a man gets hard or ejaculates during a sexual attack, it doesn't mean he enjoyed it either- they are involuntary responses
— ㅤ (@_clvrarose) March 29, 2017
if you are reading this and cannot fathom the fact that rape victims can orgasm during their attack... and it was still RAPE. Block me. Now.

Intinya, The Rose berusaha menjelaskan bahwa ketika seseorang mengalami pemerkosaan atau pelecehan seksual, reaksi yang muncul dalam tubuh belum tentu berarti seseorang menikmati aksi tersebut. Karena reaksi tubuh yang keluar saat peristiwa pemerkosaan terjadi, nggak sedikit korban yang marah dan membenci dirinya sendiri. Meski inspiratif, nggak sedikit orang yang menyerang The Rose dan mempertanyakan maksud dari tweet-tweet di atas.
Kalau menurut kamu gimana Bela, setuju nggak dengan pemikiran The Rose?
