The many faces of rape.

This makes me sick to my stomach. 

As disturbing as this is, I think it’s important to give these women voices.  They are survivors.

These are terribly heartbreaking to read.  And that’s the point.  Stop making assumptions about rape based on stupid things like clothing or women walking alone at night.  None of that crap matters.  None of it.  Some of these women were CHILDREN.  One was raped by her friend.  Her FRIEND.  It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, or where you are, or who you’re with, or how old you are.  Rape doesn’t discriminate.  And I know this post doesn’t include it, but sometimes, men are victims of rape, too.  Rape doesn’t give a flying fuck, o.k.?  So stop trying to figure it out.   It’s wrong.  No matter what the situation is.  Period.
