I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the statistics presented but I liked the overall message and intent of this video…
And as I was watching the video, lyrics from this incredibly powerful Toad The Wet Sprocket song, “Hold Her Down” came to mind…
Take her arms and hold her down…
Until she stops screaming
Take her arms and hold her down…
Until she stops breathing
And they don’t know her
But what the fuck
They got nothing else they can do
And there’s no reason
But still they come
And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
The shame of what a man can do
I would have died
From all the hell that you’ve been through
Take the night back
All they’ve stolen
All we took from you
(Toad The Wet Sprocket; Hold Her Down)
No little girl should ever know what it feels like to be so damned powerless!
But sadly, far too many do know exactly what it feels like…
