VICTIM: Don't you understand how horrified I am? I'm a 20 year old from Upper Arlington. I don't know what you deal with every day but the kind of sympathy you have is zero.

Maybe women need to be more clear that they aren't looking for casual sex.

Everybody has a different sensitivity threshold, Princess.

Here you go!

I had an intake nurse shake his head in disbelief when I told him I didn't know the date of my last menstrual period because I have a Mirena IUD. Should be enough said, right? He shook his head, said, "I've never heard of that. Must be something seriously wrong with that." It took every ounce of self-control I had not…

"Quit crying, it's just rape... no big deal. eh."

I have to say, I worked in a state hospital emergency room, and you do develop a "tough skin" - you have to.

HEY good idea, how about "Ma'am, it's going to be okay. Just try to breathe and calm down. I need you to try and give me all the information so I can help you. "

not "quit crying" and those are shitty answers so now you are fucked.

um, yeah, I'm a little blown away that Columbus, Ohio does not have E911 capability (that's where they triangulate your cell phone's position between the nearest cell phone towers) it's not like they're in a vast empty land mass with no cell service. Yeesh.

As an aside, a lot of Midwesterners use "quit" in place of "stop", which doesn't read as harsh.

A lot of us people perceive "Quit doing _____" as a chiding from an authority figure like a…

This person needs to be fired from life.

Quickness and efficiency is good when you're a tech support for Microsoft or some shit. If you want accurate, reliable information being relayed to you by a victim of a sexual assault, you can't act like tech support. You'd think that'd be common sense.

Not excusing the dispatcher's douche-ery, but man that job must suck. You are always dealing with people at what is most likely the worst time in their life and you have to interrogate them with enough speed to get them the assistance they need.

That being said. If you've reached the point that you can no longer give…

DISPATCHER: Well, they're not going to be able to find him on the information that you've given...

Come on Erin, you know there's no such thing as rape culture, because there have been false rape allegations before!

You should have a reasonable expectation of not getting unsolicited dick pics, at least.

Right? It still boggles my mind that so many people immediately blame the women ("Why didn't she leave right away? Fame hungry slut!") rather than asking what an established, powerful photographer is doing shoving his dick in young women's faces. There's such a clear power differential here! Even IF (and that's a big…
