I haven't said a word about her having PTSD, but her description of the experience is pretty much word for word what people who experienced peri-traumatic dissociation and depersonalization say. The jury is still out on whether peri-traumatic dis and PTSD are intrinsically linked.
If I have time later, I'll write an…

Well, it certainly gave some insight into your mind. I happen to be doing my MA in English, so my reading comprehension isn't exactly lacking, but thanks for the entertainment. One of my most recent papers was about depictions of peri- and post-traumatic stress in first person narration. In other words, I'm not…

One could go so far as to say that men don't actually rape women. We rape ourselves by characterising the experience as rape.

What is it exactly she says, that sounds to you like "she was completely into it at the time"?

Umm, clearly we haven't all been in a situation where we have been paralyzed, judging by your comment. You do know that paralyzed means "unable to act", right? "Yeah, she was paralyzed but why didn't she act?" makes about as much sense as "Yeah, he's in a coma, but why isn't he talking?"

Yes, I would most definitely call it assault. Particularly because this guy seems to have a pattern of abuse.

He is supposed to not start in the first place. Making sexual advances in the course of a photoshoot when you are a famous photographer is an abuse of power. Save the come-ons for after work. Having an assistant there distorts the power-relation even further.

Freezing and depersonalization (which by the way, I'm basing on "I don't know why I did it" and "Meanwhile it felt like it was all just happening and there was no time to step back" and "only way I can describe how I felt was nervous and paralyzed") have nothing to do with weakness. Freezing is an instinctive…

There are several expressions for what causes a victim not to leave or resist. Some of the most used terms are "the freeze instinct" (which is more common than the fight instinct), peritraumatic dissociation, and depersonalization, which give the victim something that could be compared to an out-of-body experience.…

I suppose you are "lucky" that your instinct was to fight. That doesn't change the fact that the freeze instinct is a real survival instinct that it seems to have been this girl's reaction. The thing about fight, flight, and freeze is that they are all involuntary instinctive reactions. We don't get to choose them,…

Please look up peritraumatic dissociation and depersonalization and read. Also, look into the fight, flight and freeze instincts.

I think about ten years happened.

I'm sorry you experienced that and THANK YOU so much for this post!

Well, someone did try to prevent rape by focusing on offenders. Vancouver had the great "Don't be that guy" campaign and saw a 10% decrease in reports of sexual assaults in just a year. Imagine if we didn't just do a poster campaign, but steeped society in that message the way so many are currently pedelling the…

Well, when they see a person trying to peel another person's hands off of their body, that would be an example of a good time to intervene. Or when they hear someone goading another person into drinking more than they want to. Also, bars could have more security. Last time I was in a bar, a guy physically picked me…

Is her prose inspired by some sort of telegraph format? Why is she writing like that? I don't get it. :-(

How is image restoration possible?

Well, no one seems to be stopping the people who are nominating from speaking openly since there is a plethora of articles about people being nominated. Maybe the Nobel committee should up their security standard.

I'm wondering if she has had her lower ribs removed or broken (I've heard rumors that some people have had that done) because considering how tiny her waist is, it seems like her lower ribs should be protruding...

They probably aren't meditating right.
