Female murderers will have the most horrific and devastating backstories for them to commit crimes on the same level as a man who was rejected once by a woman
Ok sure maybe this will help someone. How can you tell if your sexual partner (men get raped too) is consenting?
1. Look at their face. Do they look excited, interested, enthusiastic?
2. Are they responding (touching you back, kissing you back, talking to you)?
3. Do you have ANY reason to believe they are incapacitated (drugs, alcohol, medication, injury)?
4. Can they get away from you if they wish, and have you made it clear that they can do so safely should they want to (Uber, lift home, separate room/sofa)?
5. If you have ANY doubts or concerns about ANY of the above, have you stopped and asked?
“women who just had bad sex are claiming to have been raped so that they’ll receive better treatment” yes. all that great treatment you give rape victims. you treat them so kindly and with such privilege.
Sexual abuse can manifest as hyper sexuality. Someone who was assaulted sexually may use sex to regain control, or to even punish themselves. It's a trauma response but people will be quick to label it as promiscuity. Sexual abuse changes the nervous system and it’s well documented in trauma literature.
literally had to cancel my dentist's appointment today because 30 minutes earlier i started shivering at the idea of /anyone/ touching me while i couldn't move.
I’ll add this:
A kiss is not consent for sexual activity
A bikini is not consent
A naked body is not consent
Having sex once is not consent
Being in a romantic relationship is not consent
Dancing together is not consent
Sleeping next to someone is not consent
Last thing on this before I have a mental break: if you think women are convincing their friends that their bad sexual experience was rape when it wasn’t, you’re delusional. The only thing people are doing is educating about the nuances of consent to avoid future bad situations.
i think many people can look at an encounter they feel regret or uncomfortable about (that self betrayal feeling described below) and still acknowledge it was consensual which is much different than finally processing you felt violated by someone else’s actions towards you
It's used as a manipulation tactic. Please listen and learn
After traumatic events not everyone is ready to immediately cope with what happened to them so they try to continue to act normally like nothing's wrong because they haven't fully processed yet. Victims deserve grace 🕊️
there's so much more to my story, but i can't fit it in a single twitter thread.
victims are allowed to not be perfect.
just remember that if you've been raped, you're not alone. and i know perfectly how it feels. my rapist was my partner.
stay safe out there, girls.
tw SA
having someone put their whole body weight on top of me while i was falling asleep, started dry humping me, immobilized me, and pulled my pants down when i was finally able to move my body, which they took as a false invitation to continue, then ended up fucking me, IS rape
i still cry myself to sleep. i still become so unbelievably uncomfortable just from thinking about sex. but at the same time, i am allowed to heal, and to gather new better experiences.
i'm not a liar. i have never lied in my fucking life. and i WILL take my case to the police.
