I want to thank every DUer who has survived/endured sexual assault and discussed it here.

And it really irks me when people who have never faced pedophilia rape and rape,blow surviviors off like we are just being dramatic or acting.when I flash back it truly is like it is happening.Sometimes you cannot heal from trauma.I have gotten better but it still has radically changed me,and I don't know what it means to be healed anyway,I don't have a pre-post rape division in my life.I can only wonder what things might have been like if I was safe from pedophiles as a kid and kept safe as a teen/young adult.If all this stuff did not scar me this bad.Sometimes I wonder if I will ever function..be happy,trust.
But it makes me so mad,ungodly furious,how casually rape is taken on DU,I wish I could find these few posters that snark every rape or feminist thread in person,bet they'd not be so snarky then. Rage is my life, and I have found a few constructive outlets for it,and no,I won't shut up,be nice,or excuse callousness about rape.If every survivor was intolerant of rape,and every non survivor was taught to not blame victims or make excuses,it would be a better world.
My wish is for pedophiles and rapists when caught the 1st time they had big a notch cut out of their ear so everyone would know they raped.
2nd time caught Kill them.
You have to be intolerant of intolerable people.If you tolerate the intolerable,you get PTSD,and your own mind will make life intolerable for the rest of your life.

I HATE rapists and pedophiles,every one of them.I have 0% pity for them.
