Little Star, I am replying to your post because you often make great post that get my attention. However, sometimes people can be very hypocritical when it comes to word usage. the c word and p word may very well be what victims of rape were called by. I, however, heard over and over and over and over and over "I'm gonna fuck you until I rip you open". Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! every time a slap or a punch was directed my way.
There are more than a handful of people on this website that fight daily to stop the usage of pussy and cunt; but they constantly and repeatedly was fuck in their post. Over and over and over and over and over again. Feminist that don't see the harm in that word. Feminist that hate the usage of pussy or cunt because they have been, or seen video of, or heard stories of, the rapist using the word. They seem to not realize that fuck can be used over and over and over and over again by the rapist so they keep using it over and over and over and over again.
However, I decided I WAS NOT GOING TO BE A VICTIM FOREVER!!! I was going to take the time to heal, grow, and go on with a happy life. To do that, I also had to overcome the scenes that flashed in my head every time I heard the word fuck! And, I did.
My point, for my happy life, is that words can only continue to hurt you if you let them.
Hugs to you, Little Star!!
