With sexual assault being so prominent in the news I wrote this short piece. I hope it brings light to the average woman's experience of sexual violence.

When I was 17 my friend told me she'd been raped. She was drunk at an event and a friend took her outside and raped her. It was 2007 and I didn't have empathy for her. She often got drunk and flirted with guys. She was beautiful and liked the attention. It was bound to happen eventually. I didn't have empathy for her rape, because I didn't think it would happen to me. Or at least, if it did, it would be one of those lesser rapes like when your boyfriend does it, or when you end up saying yes because it's easier than saying no.

I first wrote a version of this essay when I was 24 and at that time I said I was the only woman I knew that hadn't been raped. That was a lie, but I didn't know what it was. I mean there was that one time when I continually said no to my boyfriend and he penetrated me anyway, but I carried on then so it's essentially fine. And there was that time I had a horrendous UTI, but it was my 19th birthday and he said it was his birthday present to me, so I just bore through the pain to receive my gift because I didn't want to make him feel bad about not getting me anything. But ya know, that's just part of being a woman isn't it?

My sister once said to me, "you've probably been raped and don't remember it. Men tend to just do that." The statement was ridiculous to me, a woman that had definitely not been raped. When my friend woke up and saw her friend violating her unconscious body and the police took us to a cabin in the woods so she could have a rape kit and then they arrested the guy, though she dropped the charges because it's not worth ruining his life over and he probably got the message from the arrest anyway. That was like a proper rape and that hadn't happened to me.

What had happened to me was more like what had happened to my friend when we were 14, where she got black out drunk at a house party and her boyfriend carried her to a local park, sat her on a bench and sexually assaulted her. It's something that feels icky, like you know th…

I think megaman x shines most when you're a child and it's cool, or stick with it long enough to be able to speedrun it. shy of that, I spend some time thinking, "they could've made it fun to move around, so why didn't they?"

Why is Aftermath covering this after the Saudis (& Jared Kushner's) EA buyout? You @lukeplunkett.com literally reported that the people who made this game aren't getting paid for it anymore, so why are you highlighting it? Did you run out of decent companies that pay their employees to cover?

Cutting off one or more family members is an underrated move honestly. It's hard at first and then you start to notice all the ways they'd make your life worse and it gets easier. Glad for you!! Anybody reading this... Your dad probably sucks, and you don't owe him anything, not even replies!

You can't buy indulgences from trans people that give you Special Permission to enjoy Harry Potter shit. We're not a church, that's not how any of this works. You can *do* whatever you want, but you have to shoulder the ethical burden of enriching a virulent transphobe on your own.

I know that's right. Being a person you think people will like and representing your struggle visibly are tough to balance. I don't think, on reflection, that people inherently mind seeing trouble in others and respecting that trouble. Not good people anyway. But I sure don't like being vulnerable!

I feel like answers suggesting "zero" discount how many folks just read as a hobby. With that out of the way, I feel like deeper meaning evades that kind of person, and I think they do read those books, and I think they're where the negative reviews for "Ancillary Justice" on goodreads come from

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.
