And seeing last week was Domestic Violence Week........

The penguins in Antarctica I thought had it all worked out.I was quite shocked how they handled the issue of RAPE! Because that was what the photos I had taken represented to me. The first I took found me quite shaky...but the sharp beak made its point  and threatened 'Either you let me or I'll slash your neck open.'
The next photo showed that he had relaxed a little.But all made me think of the revival of the idea of 'ownership of the female...the property of the male!' Is that the cause of our domestic violence in society today? Yes, not just our society but those existing for many centuries with their intolerance of the female body and their use of the female simply as slaves.

  The question is asked often. Should females have the right of ownership of their own bodies? Again the penguins of Antarctica don't seem to think so.
But the news is not all bad. Follow the pictures taken and you will find a very happy and contented couple standing by after the event.

What happened?
Not much! He thinks he is a KING Penguin! But........
That's just what he is....

He'll do me!
Wait till he sits on the nest to look after the offspring (the egg) to keep the predators away.
Good! I believe he will. Till then I can go back to sleep.

What a lovely couple! Worth photographing!
