Uhm... Is this supposed to be a poem, or something? Hey, junior - perhaps you should leave heavy subjects like rape for after you've lived a little, when you have some idea about stuff. You're really spewing cringe-worthy sh*t right here. Just a thought. I know that at your age it's cool and exhilarating to be able to express your opinion. But what you should take into account, is that at your age most of your opinions are uninformed and wrong. You should make fewer unsubstantiated assertions and read more, just because you recon you have something figured out - doesn't make it so.
"No one can do anything about rape"? What are you talking about? We can do things about rape and we're doing them. Part of it is deconstructing the sexist fantasies, that are still being imprinted on young people's minds by conservative patriarchal parts of society.
And as for being protected - everyone, male or female needs protection - that's why we have laws, the police, judges, the military and so on. No, men don't "defend themselves" - we need those same protection women do. Seriously - time to start growing up and forget the silly fairy-tales about knights and princesses - that's not how the world works. If you're a man and get sh*t kicked out of you - the police is obliged to defend you. The idea of feminism (not "feminism", whatever you think that is) in relation to violence and rape - is that woman beaten, or raped by her husband should be allowed the same protection, as any citizen, who's being victimized by another. Which is not always the case, since many backward parts of certain societies still consider violence against women (or children) as tolerable, if not outright acceptable.
I have no idea what you mean by "We can't do things sometimes. That's okay." Yeah, sure - that's what Martin Luther King should have told the black people... "Sorry, guys - there will always be racism. Nothing anyone can do about it. It's okay. Go home and try to stay away from angry white people with ropes and burning crosses."
