15. Thank you, I appreciate yours too.

Off topic, you made a post the other day that really got me thinking in a positive way. I read the thread late at night and then went to sleep. I believe it was a discussion about poverty and how many get stigmatized further with notions that it's their fault, or they haven't tried hard enough. You mentioned that is also how many women feel regarding the issue of rape. Thank you for that amazing comment. It really got me thinking. It is so true. A friend called me this evening. She just left someone who was abusive toward her. In addition to making sure she is safe, I mentioned your comment. Paraphrasing, of course. She said yes, that is true. It has taken me a long time to understand it. But I think I'm beginning to understand that rape and physical abuse does not just harm the physical victims. It also denigrates and unjustly causes half of the people in our population to live in fear. A fear that should be eliminated. I'm sorry if my paraphrasing or conjecture isn't one hundred percent accurate to what you said. But just know that I thank you for getting me to think about, and discuss with people in real life, an issue that you have brought more to my attention. Have a good evening!
