“Gender Wars”

By: Marina Yang

Our biggest ‘battle amongst genders’ wasn’t each other, but rather the group of people amongst us who hurt others. They’re amongst their crowd, whether gender, sexuality, race, etc, hiding away from their acts as an ‘entire group’. We cannot allow any more harm done to the people whose voices have been silenced over negative comments trying to silence them, and the upstanders. Instead of ‘men’ or ‘women’, it’s ‘perpetrator(s)’, ‘offender’, ‘culprit’, etc. It was never about the characteristics of the wrongdoer, but about the victim, the victim that fell into this wrongful act and or verbal comments. It was never about which side looked the worse compared to the other, but stopping these illegal and foul acts. This is no way to behave and live, especially for the future. Despite our differences and paths we all want the same thing, world peace and freedom of negativity and harm.
