Friends continue to share their personal stories of awfulness in support of those who are telling the truth to the powers that be.
Yep. I thought I'd heard all the horror stories from my close friends, but this week's events brought out another that I'd never heard before. She was fifteen at the time. It's really sad when you think, "Gosh, I'm so lucky only to have been groped by multiple strangers in public places."
I hear you. My own assault by a guy I dated when I was 17 messed me up for a number of years. But compared to others, I still got off easy. I read Roxanne Gay's essay about her gang rape and felt completely gutted.
JFC. I don't really pray apart from being grateful a lot, but I'm sending up one for your friend and her sister that they may find peace and happiness.
With you on the visceral anger. I'm trying to distill it into something productive this week, but it's really, really hard.
She is a goddamned hero. *hugs you* Thank you for hearing her and believing her. As we are seeing now, plenty of folks prefer to keep their heads in the sand.
