To Selma
I am in total agreement with your sentiments (see below, in full as written
of what you posted on this forum). Not everyone will agree and this response
is to them, not to you, I am only agreeing with you on this subject.
There are some people (I know of SIX by personal experience) on his forum
that wish to nit pick part sentences & will attempt to throw you off-balance
here & make you out to be siding with the police, they have ways of doing this,
just the OPPOSITE of what you say here. That is why I have not portioned off
your post here, it happened to me on half a dozen occasions just this last 2
weeks.
I do wish those who have nothing else to do with their time on this forum
find another way out of their miserable lives, instead of always biting ankles
like a small dog trying to scare you off the (garden) path, by ripping at the
trousers or the skirt hem, or your ankles, and growling............!! but for
NO constructive reason other than to be a nuisance, such as a mosquito on a
balmy evening..........
Anyone who disagrees with the sentiments that Selma has posted, just below
Sanny de Quepem, regarding this teacher, please stand up.
Ok, ok, we cant see you so maybe you can either i) leave the room or ii) post
here, with your REASONS why the sentiments mentioned below are disagreeable to
you.
DONT bother cutting down or summarising any of the sentences to fit your
answer, just reply please, in FULL. We can read, we can also read between the
lines........and of course we will know when you have cut sentences in your
reply.
I await with bated breath. I appear to be waiting with bated breath on some
other posts I put on this forum, but received none, except abuse.

NB : And that will include the SIX posters (including the FOUR who sent me
personal emails) vilifying me for my opinions on similar or associated subjects
this couple of weeks?!

I'm so disheartened by this story. On the one hand if the woman in question did
molest this child then she has to pay the full penalty under the law. On the
other hand, it seems to have brought to the fore all the misogynistic
assumptions made by our society. In our Goan society, where getting married and
having children is the norm, women who fail to fulfill this role designated for
them are reviled. They are the but of all jokes, with special pejorative terms
like "beatul" and "azudre" coined for them. I attended a tiatre about two years
ago which was replete with such abuses hurled at one of the "unmarried"
characters in the play, and the crowd churlishly cheered on in agreement. Much
has been made of the fact that this woman is a 40year old spinster. Pedophilia
is not a disease born out of deprivation but a sickness of the mind, and hence
a 40 year old married woman with 10 children could be just as susceptible to it
as a unmarried 40 year old.Secondly, why is the
assumption made that the spinster is a virgin. Could she not be engaged in a
healthy sexual relationship with a man outside of marriage? How will an
"examination of her body" prove "assault" on the child? Is this the sort of
evidence we are depending on to prove our cases in Goa these days? If so, I am
afraid very afraid for our society.________Selma
