Okay, now that I have calmed down I will write about a story I posted earlier on my Facebook page. Without going into detail, a young, 20 something, girl has a tryst with a few guys at the Stampede.  They leave the Stampede grounds, go into an alley, and end up getting video taped.  The tape was subsequently posted on Social Media.  Here is my problem:

I know I don’t know the whole story, but this girl doesn’t seem upset at all about this incident.  In fact, in the video she made after the fact in reaction to the “slut-shaming” she received, she says she wasn’t proud of what she did but that she would do it again.  The video is patched together and she seems stoned and drunk throughout.  She even goes so far to say she did it for Wiz Kaleefa tickets (or however you spell the name).  She says that what a girl does with her body is her decision and that it was wrong to post the video.

Now, I am not disagreeing with her, it is wrong and whoever posted it should be charged.  But so should this girl and the two guys.  They did something which is illegal in Canada and yet no charges are being laid.  They had “fun” in a public place with a total disregard of who could be watching.  It is simply wrong in every way on every level.   It’s not because I’m Catholic, it’s not because I’m a prude, it’s not because I’m jealous.  It’s because there are young children out there who may have seen and still could see this and think it’s all right and it’s not.

Some of you will argue with me and say maybe she has issues, maybe she was coerced, maybe she was drugged.  Some may even say the men took advantage of her while she was drunk and you may be right but the whole situation is still wrong.  If she had been attacked and it was put on social media, even if she had been drugged and had come forward stating she knew nothing I would feel sorry for her.  But the fact that she has made this video stating why she did it, that she would do it again, that she wasn’t ashamed, and that she shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed is why I feel the exact opposite.  Everything she says and done in her video simply makes me want her charged  even more.

In conclusion, she performed an indecent act in public and should be charged as should the two men.  The person who submitted the video tape should be charged as well.  I would have called the frickin’ police and brought an end to this right at the beginning.  Her response video should be taken down as well as she is doing nothing but making fun of the situation.  I am finished and Tanya has left the building.
