Dear Women: You Must Scream – Deut 22:23-27

I know the title of this post could be silly or serious and maybe we all need a little bit of both.  But unfortunately this one is a bit more serious as for the times we are in.  And something that I feel has been impressed upon me for the last week.

It’s possible that as the world increases in chaos that the issue of rape continues to grow.  I may be wrong but I just think it’s possible.

Anyway, I was dwelling on a key aspect of this Biblical account of rape:  It’s important for the woman to scream for help.

Why?

I think there’s a primal instinct in a man to battle and conquer.  Unfortunately weak men full of lust will tend to choose women who in most cases, have less physical strength than men–an easy, cheap win for a feeling of power.  A women should resist and fight back with vigor and try to escape, but this is not enough.

  1.  When a woman yells loudly for help, it is a huge turn off.   It puts that man on the defensive and is a huge aggravation to his selfish intent.
  2. It signals to anyone hearing that this is not consensual sex.  Screams of distress are witness.
  3. You need help getting away from such a man.

Women. Yell for help.  Loudly.  This is Biblical and it is wise beyond just calling for help.

And who knows.

Maybe a man of righteous courage is near.
