i desperately need people who have never been raped to understand that going to the cops about sexual assault and taking an assault trial to court is oftentimes a humiliating and deeply unfruitful exercise, ESPECIALLY when your assailant is running for POTUS. https://twitter.com/OKYouCanTellMe/status/1248129965415174147
remember doctor ford?

how she had to sit in court with a thousand microphones and cameras in her face as old men asked her whether she accurately recalled her rape?

remember how that totally led to real structural change in the U.S.?
for those unable to understand the psychology and neurology of trauma, i highly suggest reading one of the best texts we have summarizing what the brain goes through during rape.

bring a highlighter, motherfucker.
