I am so sorry this happened to you — and the aftermath. It makes me sick how many women (including myself) couldn’t call what happened to us by the its name because we weren’t allowed to. We weren’t allowed to call rape “rape,” or to call assault “assault,” or to say that no, we didn’t DESERVE what happened just because we wore a certain outfit or had a certain attitude or said a certain word or…whatever. It is sick that our culture has done this to us and I’m so glad to see us standing up and talking about our experiences and defining them correctly and putting the blame WHERE IT BELONGS. I applaud your bravery!
