I once sat with a girl who told me she had been raped.
She had gone to spend the night at her boyfriend’s house, & he spiked her drink.
She woke up to signs of sexual assault — confused, scared, & hurt.
I told her we could go together to make a police report.
I sat beside her as the officer said things like:
‘You shouldn’t have gone over there.’
‘You shouldn’t have stayed the night.’
‘You shouldn’t have accepted a drink.’
‘You shouldn’t have been drinking alcohol at all.’
Every word he said was about what she did wrong — not about what was done to her.
I corrected him. I told him that none of the choices she made were her fault.
None of this was her fault.
He was the one who drugged and assaulted her. It’s not ok to say it’s her fault. He was shocked and mumbled well “no”
Instead of taking her report with professionalism, without judgment, without bias — he made her feel blamed.
She left without filing charges.
This is how rape culture persists
i actually prefer being friends w people that hold the same values as myself cos why are you my friend and i’ll have to be explaining how something is obviously weird
fear the hottest relationship dynamic is a woman acting like an unhinged little creature while the man just finds her endlessly entertaining instead of emotionally draining
It’s kind of wild that iron deficiency causes stuff like intense fatigue and hair loss and a lot of doctors have just decided it’s not a big deal because it’s one of those hysterical lady diseases so whatever.
Solar eclipse. Meteor shower. New moon. Planetary alignment. If your nervous system feels like it's shedding three lifetimes... let it.
The old timeline is done.
