Drew Carey. wtf.
I wonder if the guys were raped by women or...guys.
And I also wonder if Jenna Jameson's/Traci Lord's rapes had anything to do with their getting into the porn industry.

Well, most people think that male survivors have to be raped by females (because female survivors are generally raped by males), which is why those people have a hard time believing the high statistic for male survivors ("There's no way THAT many men can be THAT weak"). But usually men are raped by other men.

some of those are really surprising. i knew a man who was raped. i guess it is mainly done by other men.

another reason why i think women should take over the world

Yeah, I was surprise by quite a few of those names, too.

And I concur!

i wonder where the person who compiled this list found out all of those people. i only knew offhand about oprah, jemma jameson, billie holiday, and the guy from korn.

oh and i put this in my journal too. its an eye-opener.

Well, I'd done a Google search to find more famous survivors for her, and I came up with this site that has a lot on her list: http://www.aest.org.uk/survivors/famous.htm

And I passed it on to Emma.
I've read The Lovely Bones but not Lucky.
TLB is a good book, and the lady who helped me find it said Lucky is really good too.
