From Chile: Rapist In Your Way / Un violador en tu camino

The rapist is you. And our punishment it’s the violence you don’t see. Patriarchy is a judge that judges us for being born. And our punishment it’s the violence you see. It’s femicide, impunity for the murderer. It is the disappearances [of detainees]. It is the rape. And the fault was not mine, neither where I was, nor the way I dressed. And the fault was not mine, neither where I was, nor the way I dressed. The rapist was you. The rapist is you. They are, the cops. They are, the judges. The state. The President. The oppressive state is a macho rapist. The oppressive state is a macho rapist. The rapist is you. The rapist is you! [Below, in quotes, a citation of the Carabineros (police force) anthem, shouted by the female demonstrators]: “Sleep quiet innocent girl without worrying about the bandit that for your sweet and sinuous dream watch the policeman who loves you “ The rapist is you. The rapist is you!
