I created this account to be able to say what I still can't say publicly.

The strange thing is, I don't feel very afraid for myself any more. But when I hear other women's stories, I get panicky for them. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

@catho0o Thank you. It was a very long time ago. But I still feel I only want to talk about it anonymously.

[Marie @geraniums]

But what I do know: it's not "a fate worse than death." We survive and we thrive and we are stronger than they think. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

And if we say no and cry and plead for them to stop, they think... What? Idk. Idk how they turn that into desire. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

Do the men also know the story? Not always. For some of them they think that's what sex is. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

When women say this happened to them, I believe them. Not only because #MeToo but also because many of my friends went through this too.

[Marie @geraniums]

That's of course not to mention the countless times I've been harassed by men on the street. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

I could have yelled for my housemates to help me but I was too embarrassed. Couldn't stand for them to know what happened. #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

Afterwards, he said "just so we're clear, I know this was rape. I came here to rape you and that's what I did." #MeToo

[Marie @geraniums]

But that wasn't my first #MeToo . The first was when I lost my virginity during a date rape at age 17.

My ex-boyfriend knocked on my window in college so I let him in, thought he needed help. He raped me. #MeToo
