“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
@DeeDumsz Awww Dee. Hope you’re ok! Don’t put pressure on yourself, be’s like that sometimes. Especially if other people were close to them that you’re close too, proper weird feeling
Releasing old projects on all streaming platforms is the best thing Cole has done. I was falling out of love especially due to recent events. Friday Night Lights next 🙏
We all just need to stop paying Council tax and I’m not even joking.
The people in power know that we are a nation of sheep that take it up the ass so they keep fucking us. Enough needs to be enough kmt
Comprehensive laws to prevent gender discrimination. 90% of the women in Iceland made this happen. The other 10% were pickmeshas and they had absolutely nothing to offer society, they were left behind.
"Your body, my choice" is not a joke, it's not bants. Take action! Leave
Can we actually deep it. A man who was on trial THIS year (guilty btw) is now president. AGAIN. Women are posting content of them having sex with 100+ men in a day. Mini rolls are £4.10. Foil in LIDL is £3.69. Travel is going up. Nandos is no longer a £10. I can’t live like this
