I read this earlier today and I can't get it out of my head. This article has changed something fundamental, flipped some switch. I am so ashamed of everything I complain about. I can't imagine living like these women, not only living through attacks like these but living with the physical reminders in the form of colostomy bags or infertility or a rapist's child. For some reason, this particular tragedy is sticking in my craw like stringy beef between teeth...I can't get it out, and every time I think about it I almost cry. What can I do to help? Tears just aren't enough. I feel so helpless. And angry. So angry. But in the end, completely fucking useless.
