Why would you want to hear about my rapes?Was it a violent rape by a stranger, or by a date that pushed his advances too far?
To see in what they have affected your overall views on men. It looks like they have. I too would be resentful of men in your situation.
Some men are resentful of the way that women constantly interfere with them in terms of their skimpy clothing, overt sexual displays and lack of conscience. They feel they can't even go down the street without being intruded upon in this way. They can become bitter and want to lash out at the entire female race. Much like what you are doing in reverse.
I think you have taken the rapist mentality on board, but expressing it in a female manner.
That is sad to hear. No one should be subjected to such things, particularly the young.I was actually violently raped by a man who I had not met before, and who was hanging out with his girlfriend that night. I told very few people about this. I was also in similar situations with two men that were just friends (not dates), who were not able to consummate the rape only because of how hard I fought them, but who were still able to put me through hell for more than five minutes. One of them actually apologized later. Oh, and the first rapist also apologized, as if that would help.
My ex-husband was physically and emotionally abusive.
Oh, and now that you've made me think about my past, I also had two sexual abuse experiences, which were not quite rape, when I was between 11 and 13.
As to my kid, she was raped by a cousin of mine, in my agegroup.
Around here, the women are all glowing and having the time of their lives.Shahrazad wrote:It's only hell if you're a woman. My society is very male chauvinistic.The way you describe things makes it sound like you're living in a hell hole.
