(20,582 posts)There are many of us who've told our stories, and some of them are brutal .... not a single comment from the group that wants ALL of us to see, think about, and relive rape here day after day. And then called those bullshit names. And thank GOD I'm smart enough to realize that 99.9% of men here are completely empathetic to every woman and man who's gone through it .... I've noticed, much more so than the warriors pounding away on their keyboards day after day claiming the right to 'educate', insult, belittle and lie about those of us who aren't worthy of concern. I lived with DV too for far too long and then volunteered in shelters for years. I've picked up women with the ambulance with injuries so gruesome you'd think they'd gone 12 rounds in the ring. I've seen pretty well all there is to see, and seeing such crap like 'all men benefit from rape' followed by 'rah, rah!!!' like it's all part of some stupid game, actually makes me sick. Someone suggested once they spend a little of their time away from googling up whatever can be found to demonize the men at a shelter, or helping victims in other ways. He was completely ignored. That wouldn't get the drama.
