I believe you have read the book of Song of Songs in the bible. The narration from man and woman's attraction to having sex or love-making was awesome. Mankind failed to obey what Solomon said, "Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires..." Solomon's reputation as being given wisdom by God, yet many wives and concubines, and that advice coming from him? It would make you think a lot.

This is me speaking of experience with being harassed.
I am just going to say this but because of these things I am afraid of men, guys, whatever, even kids because I think I have been molested or something when I was a child, really young, either I suppressed the memory when I was a kid because I remember whenever at school during these things when I was in grade 1 to some grade that I don't remember I would always get panic attacks whenever they'd speak of these subjects warning you and telling you to have a "buddy system" and I didn't even know why I would as a child and I never understood, I would always have to go home because of this. I mean, even when I was 12 years old I was touched by some kid younger than me and I have always blamed myself saying "It's my fault because they are younger" but every time they did I was in public places and they were just a neighbor and people were around and I see the judgement in their eyes, I couldn't do anything but one time I just grabbed their wrists and looked them in the eyes and said "Stop" and this KID, was playing the victim as an old lady was there watching me. I again told him to "Stop" and make it as serious as I could and then walked away, never again has he done that and we never spoke of that again, at one point that kid tried to get his friends to do it. I know people like to say "Well, you were probably asking for it" but no, I never ever in my life have ever dressed like that because I am very insecure and I always wear baggy hoodies to cover myself because I was always made fun of. I just need to speak about this because so far no one has spoken from experience and I am reading a lot of apologists and I realize that both genders do this to one another and I am not saying I am better because the bible says "I am just going to come out and say this because "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10, please just understand that even talking about this is hard because I have only told 1 other person in my life about this and they judged me and ignored me for it. And like I said, I am afraid and uncomfortable being around men in general, speaking to them, just being in the presence because I have had guys/dudes take pictures of me before when I was on the bus and I was wearing a skirt, it was past my knees. It was hot that day, I've even had teenagers older than me you know, cat call and all that and I wear LONG SKIRTS man, and I even wear leggings/shorts underneath. Please just stop being an apologist. Just really, men, woman, everyone in general, really, teach your children to respect woman and woman to respect men because that one kid who touched me, his parents were promiscuous and did things in front of him and his brothers. It really, really hurts when you read things others write who have not experienced these things. I have also had a girl, do things gross, gross things to me and I was crying and they were MAD I wasn't "enjoying" it, this is when I was a lesbian, in my past which was 2 years ago. Now I used to believe that woman who had experienced these things was because they were "asking" for it or something like that, but then I had read people, woman, girls, and men coming out about it and then I would experience small things of sexism and misogny, men thinking they are entitled to something, or women about other women or men, or men about men, etc. making comments about "go make a sandwich" or "only women go do those things, etc", "if you do it you're a fag" even if it was not about "sporty" things, men putting other men down, etc, etc. No wonder men and women are attracted to their own kind because people keep saying "If you do that you're gay" and you are speaking literally strong words that change their personality, it literally speaks to there very core and we have to be careful with EVERYTHING we do and say.
"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Matthew 10:16
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21
I know a LOT about the LGBTQA community because of me being you know, whatever, and stuff, I know what it's like, I know how powerful words are and that's why Jesus says:
"But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person." Matthew 15:18
This is why the world is the way it is, but it is supposed to be this way.
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Roman 12:2
"As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:" 1 Peter 1:14
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4
And the reason why I became a lesbian, was because when I was a child my cousin would save provocative pictures of women on the computer and I would see them, and I was aroused as a kid because of this and confused by it so for a long time I identified as "Bisexual" because I online dated with guys who mostly looked for looks and even 13 year old kids would be participating in sex and just STUPID stuff you shouldn't be doing and just awful. You should stop judging these people because Jesus says do EVERYTHING in love, absolutely, Jesus doesn't say, "they will know you of your judgement and hatred" NO.
"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35
And I am not saying, force your children to do things because they walk their own walk, they are Gods not yours. If you teach them in the right way, by asking God and not forcing them, be understanding. Don't be angered easily and I know as a parent it is hard because I saw it by looking at my mom and I know some things are SO HARD to do because you are just human, then let them fall. God will bring them back like He has for me because He is gracious and loving and kind and He loves me so much and that is HARD at times for me to understand and others, but He REALLY does.

hishealingred, Clearly you have been through a lot but that is all done and dusted now and you have to try to put it all behind you. Talk to the Lord about how you feel, take some time to detail your hurts before Him and then give it all to Him - He is BIG and He can deal with it all. It doesn't matter if the tears flow, you will feel better for it. Then tell yourself it's time to move on. Each time you find yourself dwelling on something again give it to the Lord. You know He loves you deeply for who you are - He made you the way you are.
Forgive the people who abused you, I mean REALLY forgive, this will help you to move on. It might take time for you to do this but if you are in regular contact with the Lord He will help you achieve this. Hold your head up high and walk tall, you have absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of. Value yourself as God values you and go ahead and wear nice clothes - I don't mean trashy clothes but nice smart or feminine clothes and enjoy being a woman - you are special, you are the King's daughter, that makes you a princess - special indeed.
The only advice I can give you regarding the abuse is to talk to your pastor or maybe his wife or even someone else in a church whom you can trust. Some good Christian counselling will help you.
I will pray for you too. God bless you sister.

Oh and I forgot to quote this in the "why the world is the way it is"
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Matthew 24:34
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for allthese things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24:6

Well to give a quick answer to the OP's question:
You also might ask why people start randomly shooting at children in school or in a theater and then turn and kill themselves afterwards. Why parents (either male of female) kill off their whole family and then themselves, why people all of a sudden become cannibals and attacking others on the street in plain daylight, ripping off their faces and flesh and start eating them alive...or plainly why are these and other heinous crimes and atrocities are committed every day somewhere.
It's because this world is totally influenced by satan and his demons. From the average small family to the leaders, businesses (corporations) and politicians. Now you might see in many cases of these that either the person committing these crimes has had a past of some form of abuse or occult involvement or many through various drugs (legal and illegal), but then some don't show any of these backgrounds. People that give themselves over to the dark side either driven by the abuse, e.g. being bullied in school or driven by things they listen to or watch, things they witnessed as a child all kinds of traumas, etc...
Somewhere the door has been opened for demonic influence and has been festering. This not being taken care of can then with more or less time lead to total possession of a person. People that do these things are often "out of their mind" at the time they are committing these crimes. Some of them seem to "wake up" right after they maybe killed someone and wonder what just had happened. Doesn't mean that they are not responsible, we all are for our own actions no matter what ( so please don't anybody come with the lame cop out argument to discredit what I am saying by "the devil made me do it" - even though that is partially true but the issue goes a lot deeper than just to throw that statement in there).
If churches would preach and teach the answer to people's problems and help them to deal with their oppression and tendencies, there would be a lot less of that stuff going on out there. But unfortunately most churches run the other direction when it comes to demonic influences in people. They don't want to have anything to do with it either because they stopped believing in the real true gospel (which includes to deliver people from bondage of the enemy - which is conveniently left out) and only preach part of it (that seems more non-threatening for people with itching ears for seeker friendly issues) or refuse to deal with it because of the fear of losing some of their sheep. Since this is just not mainstream enough.
So there are many things that can lead up to this in a person's life to step over the line of what a person "normally" would not do and it doesn't have to be always quite this dreadful of a crime. It can start out slowly with pushing the envelope of what is considered acceptable in society until society changes and accepts this behavior they would have condemned not too long ago before. So society becomes more and more withdrawn from God's original purpose until we condone things that are absolutely an abomination in God's eyes. So the enemy gets a bigger and bigger foothold among people.
The same way it happens on a personal level with one person. They go a step further every time than they would have before and at the end they ask themselves, how on earth they got to where they arrived.
Just in a nutshell, like I saids there are many issues that can lead up to it but at the core it's spiritual.

Some people have lived completely normal (or as some say "good") lives and have become this way, but that's because of sin:
"3 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Romans 3
And this is why we need Jesus Christ in our lives. Hahaha, but there are also some reasons, when God truly opens your eyes and literally TURNS your whole world upside down, you see things differently:
"Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?" Isaiah 29:15
"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Genesis 11:6
"Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?" Isaiah 26:16
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." John 8:44
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." 2 Timothy 3:1
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" 1 Timothy 4:1
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;" 2 Timothy 4:3
"How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts." Jude 1:18
"12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." Daniel 12
This verse:
"4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4
Is talking about the demons, because I had remembered reading/listening to several stories of people going to hell (Jesus took them) and they saw demons running to and fro because they knew there time was running out. I know I probably sound crazy, hahaha, but it's true.
This world and everything in it is absolutely unfathomably evil.
"3 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Romans 3
And this is why we need Jesus Christ in our lives. Hahaha, but there are also some reasons, when God truly opens your eyes and literally TURNS your whole world upside down, you see things differently:
"Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?" Isaiah 29:15
"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Genesis 11:6
"Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?" Isaiah 26:16
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." John 8:44
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." 2 Timothy 3:1
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" 1 Timothy 4:1
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;" 2 Timothy 4:3
"How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts." Jude 1:18
"12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." Daniel 12
This verse:
"4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4
Is talking about the demons, because I had remembered reading/listening to several stories of people going to hell (Jesus took them) and they saw demons running to and fro because they knew there time was running out. I know I probably sound crazy, hahaha, but it's true.
This world and everything in it is absolutely unfathomably evil.

You don't really upset me. But I must confront you on your ignorance regarding this issue making MEN solely the perpetrators in such crimes. You should look up the word "misandry" and the potential for you having become very brainwashed by an uber feminist culture right now that is hell bent on making men the entire bane of existence. Please be careful as to not become a sheeple, merely following the herd, who repeat only what some angry woman says to you.
You are highly unaware as to the amount of crimes committed by women, particularly teachers in public school systems, who have been convicted of sexual crimes towards their male students. I think you should start your research now.
You are also highly unaware as to the true percentages of domestic violence actually started by women.
You are also highly unaware as to the murder rates of children who are murdered by their own mothers.
I will not so much mind starting to post these resources, if you can, in fact, handle the truth. But I think it would be best if you did it.
Since you seem to be from the UK, which is HIGHLY influenced by uber feminism, you might want to look up a name of a woman called Erin Pizzey. Start there, read the articles, and begin your research. It will probably take you a very long time to get rid of your male hatred bias, but keep researching. You just might come around. You have been very misinformed.
Ask yourself this one question right now.... Why is "50 Shades Of Grey" the biggest selling book currently around the world? (supposedly passing even the Harry Potter books) MEN are NOT the ones buying this book..... it's the women. And they have become highly aroused by it. Be careful where you go here.
I'm not suggesting at all that men do NOT do such things you mention. Of course they have and do. I'm merely suggesting that you are living a very delusional mindset. You are convinced that "girls are ONLY sugar and spice and everything nice" while men are the sole problem. Come back after you've done your research....
