Funny Scam Email Part 2

The funny Email Scam artist strike again, after I totally told him/her off with the last Email, he/she send me this following Email
Hi Dear,



How are you today? My dear thank you so much for your mail I have gone through your mail is well understood, My dear I want you to understand the condition which lead me to Senegal, I ran away from my country because my uncle trying to kill me so that he will take over all my late fathers properties, So when I came to Senegal, I went to the bank where my late father deposited the money so that I can withdraw some money as the next of kin to the account and start a new life. Unfortunately, I did not know that my late father signed an agreement with the bank that the money should not be released directly to me if not married or up to 30years.


The agreement states that I should appoint a foreign trustee/ investor any time I want to take the money from the bank before I am 30 years. I understand that the foreign investor is to invest and manage the money for me in a good business. I was told that it will not be possible for me to indulge in financial transaction because of my age as refugee statue and law that governs this country.

So the bank people advised me that since I am not yet 30 years and not married, I should look for someone to stand for me for claims in accordance with their agreement with my late father. Actually, this is why I contacted you, to help me transfer this money to yourbank account in your country.


Secondly, I like your country and I want to live there and continue my education. You don't have to be afraid because the money was deposited with my name as the next of kin to inherit the fund. Despite the money I really want a man who will care and love me, I need a man who will always tell me the truth from his heart, I need a man who will be my brother my best friends and if the nature permit it my husband.


My dear, I can not go back to my country because my uncle will kill me I am scared of losing my life, please I want you to find your hear to help me out from this condition I am, anyway I will drop here for now hope to hear from you soon bye.



Yours truly,

Fatima

and send me this two photos of this very hot girl, which this person claim to be him/herself





Now, I don't know about you. But this definitly seem like a scam to me.'

(Although the girl in that photo is kind of hot. Maybe it is the photo of a model taken off some magazine.  )

The second Email this person sent me frequently reminded me of the studying of male sexual desire and how fairy tale frequently reflect it, which is why in stories such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty the victim is always a weak, helpless and innocent victim and is 100% knock out hot. Well, this story reminded me of it completly. This person presented photos of a hot girl, (Score on the knock out hot part) protray him/her self as a weak, helpless and innocent victim (socre again on that part) and protray him/herself as the daughter of a high ranking official (score on that part again) and within this story that the person in this story presented, it make it seem like a situation where me the reader is in a position to play the prince charming or knight in shinning armor protecting the beautiful princess (once again score.)

What this further reminded me is Psychologist Philip C MacGraw's concept of fix believe, which is that sometime when a person believe or want to believe in something badly enough, they will refuse anything that contradict their believe, just to be able to continue to believe in what they want to believe in and they would also look for example and construct opinion that can be use in favor of this idea. Fix believe usually come into existence due to some form of reason e.g. want to be the knight in shinng armor protecting a madem in destress in a fairytale.

It also kind of reminded me of how western conservative ideology frequently believe for the west to be a male and the none west to be a female, considering the fact the girl in the photo is black, not white. It so play into the stereotype and its believe that a real woman is suppose to be a weak, helpless and innocent victim and those who are not like that are not real woman and a real woman is trust worthy and somebody who is not a real woman is not trust worthy. (At this stage, I am so glad I didn't grow up in a western family, especially not a western conservative family or I might just be conned my ass off.)

I don't know about you, but I think this person ahs done his/her homework and honestly, I think sooner or later, he/she is going to meet a conservative old man that is going to get con. I am just glad that isn't me.
But I have to say this girl...opps sorry...I mean this/these person/people (can either be a man or a woman) really know how to get to you.

Cheers

PS: Due to legal reason, if I am wrong about this been a scam. Then I apologise for what I say within this post right now. I am sorry.

Also, due to legal reason, if this person is been 100% honest, then I apologise for what I say within this post right now. I am sorry.

Research show western fairy tale to be the main cause of abusive relationship amount women (Opinion piece)

A research conducted two years ago, showed that almost 50% of women have been in either a physical or an emotionally abusive relationship and Western fairy tales and Conservative culture is the direct cause to it.

The research shows that, conservative culture and western fairy tales have been working hand in hand to brain wash women to believe in an unhealthy and unrealistic view of love, relationship and happiness, since a young age. This caused many women to look for a constructed version of happiness that is removed from reality and become vulnerable to predators who use this to their advantage.

The research conducted by psychologist Dr. Xxxx (which I forgot her name and I can not find it on the internet either.) stated that, conservative culture have create an illusion which makes women believes that, a happy and successful woman, is a woman who have a man. It constructed an idea that, no matter how successful you are in your career or as a mother or how happy your life is, the only definition of success or happiness for a woman is whether you have a man. Dr. Xxxx stated that, this resulted in many women to be looking for a man at all cost and if they can not find a decent guy, they will go for a settle for second grade male or even a male that can be abusive or even problematic, just so they can at least have a man in their life.

Fairy tale is also a major cause of abusive relationship amount females. Dr. Xxxx believe that because girls grow up been bombarded by the story of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and other fairy tale princess. This result in girls growing up, tending to believing that the happiness within these story is what true happiness is suppose to be like, what true love is suppose to be like and to an even greater extend what a girl is suppose to be like. The result is that predators used these weaknesses to their advantage by presenting girls with an illusion of such fairy tale happiness and trapping them in an abusive relationship.

The major problem with the fairy tale version of happiness is that it really removed from reality. The subconscious truth about fairy tales is to firstly reinforcing conservative ideologies using of plot and story, where the mean doesn’t justify the end and secondly to fulfill male sexual desire.

In Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty for example, they all reinforce the idea that true happiness for a woman is heterosexual marriage and looking for a prince charming and a woman that do not convert to these ideology should be unhappy. However, none of these fairy tale stories give their readers a justify reason of why it is the case.

For example, in Snow White and Cinderella it simply stated that, they live happily ever after, but did not tell their readers why. I mean if Snow White’s prince is a funny guy who makes her laugh or if Cinderella and her prince are soul mates, then it might justify their happiness to a certain extend. But imagine if Snow White’s prince is a snobby player who can’t stay faithful or if Cinderella’s prince is a repulsive wife beater. Would Snow White be so happy and would Cinderella be happier with her prince, then in comparison with her evil step mother?

However, the fairy tales simply stated these girls to be living happily ever after with their prince, without telling their readers any reason why. Cinderella and Snow White are not the only fairy tales which said the girls live happily ever after, without justifying why. In fact there is a whole category of fairy tale, which also reinforces the idea that happiness for a girl is heterosexual marriage and prince charming, without giving their readers any reasons.

According to Dr. Xxxx, it is because girls have been bombarded by stories like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, since their childhood, that they spend a quantity of their adulthood searching for this unrealistic version of love and relationship and it is why, predators can use this weakness to manipulate a woman into an abusive relationship and keeping her within his restrain.

Dr. Xxxx is not the first person to come up with this form of view about fairy tales. In fact the problematic natural of fairy tale is something that has been noticed by a lot of scholars, within the field of psychology, linguistic and social and culture analysis, including Virginal Wolf (I think, I am not sure about her), James Finn Garner, Sigmund Freud (who is been consider as the father of psychology by many.) and even my own culture study tutor from Uni Dr. Kishani Pilapitiya.

Amount all of these scholars Sigmund Freud went further to argue that fairy tale is really a representation of male sexual desire. He wrote for example that, the princesses within every single fairy tale are young, innocent, naïve, passive and extremely beautiful. To explain what Sigmund Freud is saying here in my own words is that, all of the princesses within these stories are extremely attractive looking girls or young women, they are good at
heart not because they are wise, but because they are innocent (just to clarify here, there are two sort of good people in the world. The first sorts are innocent people. The second sorts are people that are wise.), the princesses are extremely passive and it is extremely easy to get them into bed with you, in other word a seductive object of pure sexual desire.
