Redefining the term: Rape

       Do you know that the dictionary is no more a trustworthy source for definitions!  One word that I would like to lay your attention on is rape. Shocked! Yes, Rape is the word that is not defined correctly in the dictionary. Not only dictionaries have wrongly mentioned but also the legislation defines it all wrong. And because of that wrong definition unnecessarily the innocent people get punished. Poor victims! They are unreasonably caught and put behind bars. They are not to be blamed, they should be freed immediately. This mistake happened in the first place because of the wrong definition provided by, I don’t know whom…Let us look at the correct definition, the correct definition will set everything to its right course, at least the innocent people will not punished irrationally. But before stating the revised meaning, let us look at the traditional definition. As per dictionary:

“It is a crime of forcing another person to submit to the sex acts.”

New Definition of Rape:

It’s an activity that a girl/ woman forces on herself by the act of the following;

• ·         Wearing the clothes of her choice.
• ·         Going out for night parties to enjoy herself.
• ·         Sitting and peacefully/ happily enjoying the conversation with her boyfriend.
• ·         Trying to raise her voice against a gangster.
• ·         Having a wish to climb the corporate ladder.
• ·         Travelling independently.
• ·         And last but not least, sometimes just by sitting at home doing nothing.

So as per the new definition, it is not a crime, it’s an activity that women find amusing, it may be forceful but the rapist is forced to act accordingly.

If we look at the new definition closely we would know that it’s actually not the rapist who is at fault. He is just an innocent person who is being trapped by the so called innocent women, and Just because rape causes physical and mental torture to the woman doesn't mean that the rapist is to be blamed, as said before it’s a bloody trap… This definition will change a lot other things as well. If you would study, you would know that rapist after committing the crime (I should not even call it a crime) feels a sense of power, he feels that he is powerful and takes pride in it, but this revised definition is robing him of that feeling because it’s the woman who is causing it, if she wants she can avoid it, hence she is more powerful than the rapist himself.

I am sure a lot of people will agree with me and especially the government as it wants to empower the woman. It is time that we change the definition and make it official. This way at least the innocent people will be spared! The legislation of India will also be spared as it would be saved of all the rape cases. A lot of time then, can be focused on other pending cases.

And if anyone needs to be punished it’s the rape victim, I mean the women (I clarified it because as per the new definition, the rape victim is the rapist himself).
