I Received Rape and Murder Threats from a Man I Reported for Sexual Misconduct


Trigger warning: Mentions of sexual violence. Reader discretion is advised.

I started receiving rape threats since I was 13 and such things didn't cease so many years after. 

An Indian man whose name is Avinash Munna sexually harassed me in Facebook Messenger. I reported him to his workplace in Dubai and he was fired. 

He had blocked me on Facebook. Instead of posting the whole saga on my personal Instagram profile, I posted it on my Instagram page, Karuththu Kannammaa. Soon, he caught a whiff of it and then sent me a message on my post, "Hey, you know, you spoiled my life."

I told him to pay for what he did to me.

And then the horror started - in the form of voice messages.

First, he called me the biggest bitch ever existed. Then, he went on that he will come to Malaysia, rape me in all holes and do the same to my mom and then chop us both to pieces. He continued in that trajectory, saying unspeakable things.

He kept telling that he'll come to Malaysia next week and finish me. If he can't make it, he said that he has contacts in Malaysia and they'll come to my house and ensure I am brutally raped and sadistically murdered.

He saw only one picture of mine in a snug sports bra - and decided that I must be "open to everything, anytime, with any guy." This is how most Indian men think. If a woman dresses and looks a wee bit hot and fashionable, they think it's consent to engage sexually with them. 

I digress.

By that one picture of me in my post workout attire, he said that every sex page has me featured - because that's how I dress, look, and behave.

What appalled me was that absolute arrogance and impenitence. He didn't even realize his inappropriate texts are wrong, and actually criminal. 

Many Indian men feel it is their right to say/do whatever they want. This whole thing around son preference is really driving this. They believe they are the center of the universe and no one has the right to turn them down.

I posted all his voice messages on my Instagram page too. And he blocked me on that platform as well.

Was I afraid? Yes. My blood ran cold and my spine crawled. You never get used to it.

Not asking for it.



Not asking for it.

I am never asking for it unless I ask for it using my voice and free will.

I was Sexually Assaulted for Rejecting a Boy

Image
  Image representative of teenage girls  I moved to a notorious section of my neighborhood when I was 12. Those were one of the darkest days in my life as I was nearly raped by a 18 years old man for rejecting his "feelings of love," toward me. Here's the story... Why da? Why you do like this da?? I was a 13 years old student, going about my way to and from afternoon session school. I only returned home at 7.15 pm and I was always harassed by a bunch of wayward boys as I walked home from where the school bus dropped me. I never responded or looked their way once. They knew my name and my house. The older boys were all school dropouts, workers at a workshop, and gang members whose job was being a nuisance. "That manja kaatu mynah is mine. Stay away from her." Yours truly, Kumar. The bulkiest guy in the group named Kumar took a covetous eye on me and began to "protect" me by telling his underlings that he had "booked" me - I was his property. H

The Vicious Cycle of Indian Mommy's Boys

Image
The epidemic of Indian men prioritizing their parents (especially their mommies) and treating their wives as second class citizens is a cycle that needs stopping. This is prevalent in Indian societies across the world. Indian men continue being "Mommy's Boy" after marriage. And Indian men's mommies continue to baby their married sons, reducing their wives into maids at the behest of the matriarchs aka slave driver. Although this is a first world problem, the core is the husband giving more importance to his parents and family than his wife. This is common in all families in Indian society. This woman is privileged so she filed for a divorce. But millions of Indian women live in this situation which society deems "normal" and "right. Wives who's needs aren't met by their husbands become obsessed with their sons and raise them as "mommy's little princes," who only listen and fulfill their moms' wishes. Those moms who are deprived

An Evangelist Christian vs Le Me

Image
First, a little backstory about myself... Yep, this is me. I have a rare genetic disease but the diagnosis was delayed because the symptoms mimic that of other illnesses. I was fighting for my life, going in and out of hospitals, suffering extreme health complications until doctors confirmed that I won't survive. Nevertheless, I defied the medical prognosis. And my atheism took shape during those years as I studied my medical condition, trusting in science. I couldn't go to varsity because my disease's most severe symptoms hit when I was writing pre-university final exams, which I took in the hospital. After I stabilized, I was on an unstable income through online freelancing. I was also doing physiotherapy and occupational therapy at a center. This was the perfect opportunity for evangelist Christians at the center to convince me to become a born again Christian. It started with this particular church going lady giving me a small sum of money for two months and frequently
