@WillRiker1989 Ok sooo I was passed out in my friends guest room and a creep snuck in and raped me and went to jail. Are you saying because I was asleep that I had given consent for ANYTHING to be done to my body? Could he punch me? Kick me? Stab me? Or just sexual violence OK in your eyes?
So for all those people that have a lot of say about how women “should” handle it, it’s clear you have no fucking idea what it does to you. So shut the fuck up.
There is NOTHING for a rape victim to gain from reporting except the hope that the rapist doesn’t do it to someone else. The process, if the DA even picks up your case, is fucking torture. Reliving it, being interrogated, scrutinized, reduced to a witness in a case number
You’re sitting there on the stand being re-traumatized in the same room as your RAPIST while your rapist gets due process and you’re treated like an inconvenience.
And don’t even get me started on the experience at the SVU or how they handle rape kits.
@PoopNcheese@JonBonzeye What are the stats of how many rapes are actually reported? What are the stats of reported rapes actually go to trial? Maybe also stats for the rape kit backlog?
Question for men: If you had to prove in court that you care about the fact women are raped, and that you think raping is bad, and you could only use your tweets as evidence, would you be able to do so successfully? Based on the last 48 hours the answer is no for most of you.
@mental_willness We teach kids that you don’t hit people. So why would consent be an optional conversation? We spend so much time teaching girls how to avoid being raped. Maybe we should spend a hell of a lot more time teaching boys not to?
@rawmilkhoney This is honestly the first post I’ve seen where the men in the comments aren’t busy tearing the women apart and somehow they still can’t manage to focus on the actual issue: rape. Now you’re pivoting to racist jokes?
@nycgraceryan Reported mine and it was a win in the eyes of the prosecution- he went to jail, registered offender. If I could do it over again, I wouldn’t. Years of being a “witness” on the stand (wHaT wErE you WeARinG), being harassed by his creep friends and family etc. It’s hell on earth
@idontcare120469@zapatas_mom I don’t know man. I reported right away, SVU and all that fun stuff, he went to jail and is a registered offender. After years of court and reliving the trauma over and over, I’d probably just start therapy instead. Sad reality
