I was "only threatened" with it, but even the fear that brought me kind of makes me want to slap some sense into all the people who claim it's not hurtful - or worse, don't care, like you said. Humanity is gross and hopeless right now. :/

I call this sexual abuse.

Me too. It says sooo much about how they view women - not as actresses, artists, whatever, but as bodies. I doubt they'd say the same about men...

Many rapes by men are not reported either. Rape in general is underreported. Your point is...?

Me too!

I also don't get why they took this model in the first place if they were going to photoshop it like that. If you want a skinny model, take a skinny model, how hard is that?

You're probably right.

I think sometimes it may take a while before people dare to admit that what happened to them was rape, but that's not really 'deciding', that's more stopping the denial.

I think you and I have a very different group of people in mind when we talk about feminists...

That's sweet of you. :)

Oh come on, now you're just being ridiculous.

Bullies abuse men and women. I don't see where you're trying to go.

Oh god. Do these people have no regard for their health (and my dinner)?

It's possible to be a victim and a perpetrator at the same time, though. A lot of bullies were bullied or abused themselves. Quite some rapists were raped themselves. That does not give them an excuse - it might sometimes explain why someone does something but it does not make it an excuse.

With all due respect but I think I'd honestly rather be alone than be part of a community like that. Sometimes it's best to cut people out of your life.

That sucks. :/

Like I said, I don't need to be told not to trust people. I'm enough of a paranoid cynic the way it is.

I lost some friends because they just abandoned me, and then I lost the others because they were fucking with me so I got rid of them. Rather no friends than "friends" who claim it wasn't rape. There's nothing hard to prove about my particular situation, by the way: I have video evidence, I have at least 2 witnesses…

Believe me, I don't need to be told not to trust people. There is currently one person whom I trust, and it's my boyfriend.

I've also heard way too many people say that it wasn't rape because I let him enter my house. They will turn it and twist it to find a way to make it sound like it's my fault, believe me.
