The only place I want to punch a woman might just be one —


Every time I see scenes of women experiencing sexual assault in films and TV shows, I feel disgusted.

The camera is always focused on the girl's expression of pain, closely capturing her struggles, her desperate scrubbing of her body in the bathroom, followed by the accusations and cold stares from those around her. The most heartbreaking moment is when her parents say, "Don’t call the police. If this gets out, your life will be ruined."

How could it be ruined? A lifetime is so long, how can it be so easily destroyed?
Why do the lenses never capture the cost to the perpetrators? Why is it always the girl who crumbles, descends into the abyss, and is ultimately abandoned by the story?

I sincerely hope that in the future more female directors can take on this type of subject matter. To tell everyone from another perspective:
Sexual assault is not a shame for a girl, but a shame for society.
The one who should truly bear the judgment and the cost is the perpetrator.

Of course, saying these things sounds like "easier said than done"; reality is harsher than TV dramas. But I still want to say:
If you are a girl, please make sure to protect yourself. If you really encounter such a situation—don't silently break down alone. Call the police, seek help, speak out. You are not "ruining" yourself, but rather reclaiming your life.
