I’m currently writing a reaction piece for my arts and letters piece on the levite’s concubine from judges 19 and 20.
and I need to vent what I cannot say in my paper.
a) why is the world, especially the biblical world such a homophobic place? A man is about to be raped and instead of allowing this admittedly tragic act from happening, two women are offered in his place. A woman dies. and this man who offered her up treats her like dirt. how freaking messed up is that?
b)as if one instance of gang rape isn’t enough, other women have to be raped and kidnapped. why are women so frequently devalued to the point where it is okay to kill, and rape?
later i’ll post on my recent amazing trip to tijuana and maybe my paper. and this doesn’t even begin to cover my thoughts on this piece but i just want to issue a general WTF?!?
