27. Rape is rape. It's the ultimate violent crime of humiliation and control

Wed Sep 10, 2014, 05:58 PM

Sep 2014

I hope Stovey found his way to a rape crisis center to help him heal. I hope he realizes he did nothing wrong. I sincerely hope his attackers all have that thing turn gangrenous and fall off.

I'd like to see the awareness that men are rape survivors spread. I'd especially like to see awareness that both sexes are raped in the military and that rape is rampant there.

Most of all, I'd like to see the fucking military catch a clue. It's past due.
