Pedophile in the Ranks?? : Indonesian Official proposes Virginity Tests

With the latest proposal by a government official in Indonesia, things are looking to go from bad to worse. The kind of indecent and completely scandalous stuff coming out of these ‘developing’ nations is a far cry and shame to the values and principles they endorse. South Asia and Middle East continues giving out shockers to the world through a set of shameless and unprincipled people who call themselves ‘Moral Police’. The Indonesian government official went a step further though and proposed a ‘Virginity Test’ for girls entering high school.

Whatever proposals they giving citing their high moral standards, I believe that no one, absolutely NO ONE, has the right to decide for someone else in the society when it comes to matters of personal choice. In that context the Indonesian proposal is downright frivolous and disgusting. A person has his/her own brains and should be allowed to decide stuff for themselves. Doing something to clearly get evidence to defame a person in the society is pathetic.

Even proposing such a thing just be crushed in the Bud.

This is a problem with not only developing countries, but in developed countries like US too. One official suggests this, not one other agrees with him, and everyone in the world starts  bleating about "barbaric" Muslims, when in the US states have actually *passed* laws requiring unnecessary yet mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasound tests for women who seek abortions. How is this not also barbaric? So, in short the problem isn't localized, it is more of a global thing that plagues us everywhere.


One of the most important stuff that is needed to know is that these kinds of proposals should invite severe action from some law or the other. I say this because to me personally, it smells of a pedophile in the ranks. Change has to be adopted and moved forward. Orthodoxy is a Dinosaur, which will eventually die out. The most important thing is to stop these people from occupying positions of influence where they love to peek into others’ lives or in Indonesian official’s case, their bodies.

  1. More than anything, I felt the photograph of the girl along with the blog really increased the effectiveness of the piece.

    These tests are sure an assault on human values and women right. I wonder where the girls go when such things come by. Where is women empowerment on the agenda now?

    Take an applause for taking up the issue on your blog.
