rape
It was suggested to me that I didn't have to wait for others to agree with me that what had happened to me was wrong -- that I could do something about it myself, if I really wanted.

The hardest part about dealing with the aftermath rape, for me, has not been sex. It’s been dating.

college
For the first time, people seem to be really listening to the horrible truth about rape and the American school system, so maybe it’s time for the world to hear a truth that’s been weighing on me for quite some time.

parenting
I want my child to never laugh at a classmate tweeting about a rape he just committed. I want my child to stand up for girls who are drunk and just want to go home.

sxsw
Today everyone in classes chatted about how fun SXSW was, while I sat awkward and silent.
sexual assault
If I never see the words "seduced," "had sex with," "affair," "forced her to have sex," and so on in a headline about a rape case again, it will be too soon.
rape
The Onion has a message of hope for these poor despondent rapists -- life can still go on after you rape someone, guys!
steubenville
I stayed up all night screen-grabbing tweets that joked about raping and urinating on a woman they thought might be dead. Welcome to Steubenville.
date rape
It has recently come to my attention that some folks are having trouble when it comes to learning how not to rape, so I thought I would put together a little 101 for you in the interest of public service.
dating
I’m trying to figure out why I’ve been alone this long, because I’m kind of sick of it. (And everyone at xoJane is sick of hearing about it.)
rape
When you've finished reading this you'll know why I didn't report him. It was the wrong sort of rape and no one would have believed me. I didn't ever tell anyone because I didn't want to be a 'victim' or, even worse, a 'survivor'. I hate that term, like half an hour of your life indelibly marks you forever.
television
This is a man who describes the best punch he ever threw as the one that hit his ex-wife, Robin Givens. This is not a nice man. He is not an ally of women or victims. He is the opposite, he is a perpetrator, and not one who feels much remorse by the sounds of it.
joanna lumley
What Lumley said was spiteful, misguided and clumsy, but don't make the mistake of thinking that your right to wear, drink and say what you want will mean shit to a rapist. Because it won't.
sexual assault
I spend a lot of time thinking about why I am so besotted with a programme that centres on the abuse of women. It extends beyond morbid curiosity, because the world in which SVU detectives operate is so alien – it is a world where people actually give a fuck about women getting sexually assaulted.
rape
Sometimes our front page looks like the RAPE RAPE RAPE montage or the front page of RAPE DIGEST and I just have to close the tab and sigh deeply.
legitimate rape
I don’t know their names but I do know this: Many, many of the other 31,999 women who get pregnant from rape each year are married to their rapists.
rape
I'm writing this in the hope that it will give other people courage to report sexual assault
justice
It was actually kind of a blessing in disguise that I was so badly injured, as it later made it hard for him to claim it was consensual.
