and under that picture was a message from someone else that read
"Subject: I dated my rapist
I dated mine ... married him ... now 25 years and 3 kids later I'm finally figuring out why I've suffered from depression for so long. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone."
maybe its because im female, and i despise situations in which women are illtreated or taken advantage of because of their vulnerability.
or maybe its because of the channel 8 dramas i watched as a child about world war 2 where some woman is getting raped by a japanese soldier.
i was affected then, and reading that just affected me again.
oh sure. rape stories are plentiful. sure, ive been hearing it since forever.
maybe my hormones are acting up cause i havent had enough sleep, but im still upset.
sure, you can throw the offender into jail, but does that make a difference?
to the victim? to the victim's family?
a jail term cannot make up for the trauma, and the consequences.
no one does anything anymore. no one says anything.
god the world is fucked up.
yeah i guess complaining about it is not gonna make a difference. nor can i do anything about such issues.
but fuck.
no wonder more and more people are losing faith in the human race.
