I really should have logged off before leaving mike alone with my livejournal.
I know this is a touchy subject for some people, but I'm here to talk about something very important to me. Rape.
It's a dirty word spread around life, there's stigma about being raped, or raping someone else that will never go away, even if you're not responsible for being raped. People feel shamed about admitting something like that, and that's something I'll never understand. See, the fact of the matter is that Rape forces someone to look at their life in the face of powerlessness, it's a life-changing experience that gives many people a powerful drive to make a difference in the world, despite themselves. You really get to know suffering once you've been violated like that.
In short, Rape builds character.
I think not only should we stop thinking of rape as such a bad thing, we should institute it on a random basis by government-sponsered teams of rapists. Think about it, that prissy little rich girl who's never worked a day in her life suddenly has her eyes openned. Gag THAT with a spoon.
