Too ugly

Social media has been filled with comments from various persons, through out the world, about the most dirtiest remark any man could ever make. "You are too ugly to rape". Person X(male) and Person Y(female) are both lawmakers in Brazil, for quite sometime now. But both have been at loggerheads since a long time, for reasons best known to them. Whatever might be the case, X commenting at Y with such atrocious comment is not acceptable to any person on this Earth.

The moment a person is born, he/she 0deserves respect, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex. There are cases of female foeticides, dumping new born infants in garbage bins or at orphanages. People do it out of sheer ignorance and out of pressure or their own personal reasons. But, name calling a person and saying that "she is too ugly to get raped"???? where does that statement stand? I only wish I could bury such statements in the deepest of Never Never lands forever. Does that mean, a person would get raped because they are not ugly? How can one define ugliness? What is their scale for such definitions?

Not just people like X; I have seen atleast 4-5 persons making such stupid statements at different occasions. One of my batch mates was arrested as he attempted rape on one of his neighbors. The news spread like fire in our hostel and when one of the inmates heard this, her instant reaction was "was she that beautiful?????" I, literally, could see that she was raping the victim, with her words. How much justifiable are such statements?

When would we understand that raping a person means attacking at their self-respect and not at their body? A person rapes because sexual needs takes up piority than anything else, morals are down, revenge could be one of the reasons, seeking new avenues in pleasurable acts etc etc... just anything and everything. The moment, a person understands rape is not about beauty but about hurting one's self respect, it would be a safe world to live in. Atleast, we wouldn't get to hear such nasty comments.
