Hello, buttercups.

I recently read a thread (no names mentioned) and it wasn't that it was triggering--which it was--but that it seems rape is still a controversial topic these days. I mean, we have this huge rape culture, right? "She was wearing this." "She was flirting with me." "She really wanted it." "She shouldn't have been drinking." Etc, etc, on it goes, placing the blame upon the victim for being raped as if the victim raped themselves. No, not possible. But we say that and want the topic dropped like a hot potato, as if these things don't happen and boys will be boys and girls will be girls.

Here's how it should go, and I'm posting this here, to tell my story of sexual abuse, because I feel it needs to said. Huge trigger train coming your way.


I had just met a guy who offered me a ride to wherever I was going. I helped him out with moving some boxes from storage and he drove me home afterward. We exchanged numbers. Over a month later, I decided to go out on "a date" with him--not a date, but that's what my dad referred to it as. I just wanted to hang out with the guy. The guy takes me to his place for a movie.

Possible trigger:


I said yes. After all of that. And I don't believe I'm wrong for considering that rape.

So, it society today telling people that these examples aren't rape and aren't wrong, it's hurtful. Stop it.
