My dad asked me today why rape victims come forward so long after supposed crimes if they want to be taken seriously. I didn’t come forward to him until five years after I was raped. I am disappointed in a way I never knew I could be.

the think about men like him is he literally cannot fathom or process how insensitive he was just being. it’s beyond disgusting what the human race is becoming

It’s been 7 years since I was assaulted and I still haven’t told anyone in my life besides my partner, my best friend, and my brother

because (as someone who spoke up after and went through the legal process and put that mf away after 4 years of them dragging out the case) women are scared, scared they won’t be believed, scared that the person may hurt them if they speak up, and embarrassed to talk about such a vulnerable and traumatic time.

I did. I tried to have a conversation with him about how dangerous that mindset is, even gave him the statistics on the likelihood of cases going to trial or getting a guilty verdict. I don’t know if he cared, and I don’t know if it will help him to think about this better, but I tried.

that's all you can do and you should be proud of yourself. it's not easy confronting that thinking, especially in a loved one. keep it up if u can, and if not know that you did your part 💕

evidence and probable cause. against a person or peoples from the past. if you didn’t hurt me and don’t know who did, u have nothing to help me with. if your primary concern is my mental health. it shouldn’t be.
