The story of a teenage girl who reported her rape but nothing happened

[Johnny2X2X]

5. It's hard to find a woman who hasn't had some level of assault or attempted assault

Been close with a lot of women in my life, some family, some lovers, some just close friends. Every one of them was a victim at some point in time.

Wife was drugged at a bar by a stranger and was lucky enough to stagger to her car and lock herself inside and pass out while the man knocked on her window.

Best friend in college passed out after the bar and woke up the next morning having been raped by the guy who brought her home.

Best friend in high school's boyfriend got angry with her and forced himself on her violently.

Younger girl who was dating a buddy in college came to me and told me she was raped by him, I confronted him and he admitted it to me then later said he never admitted it, half the friend group ostracized me.

Group of guys after high school took a drunk girl on a car ride and one had their way with her.

etc etc etc. Most cases nothing happens to the abusers, it's just part of our culture to assume the girl is lying. And for too long it's been part of our culture to shame the woman publicly. It reminds me of the pretty girl in high school who got drunk and had sex with 3 guys at a party, she was called a slut for years afterwards, never occurred to me that maybe that was rape.

Some progress is being made, but we are a long way from where we need to be.

Women have to be believed, they must, it has to be reversed from what it is now. And I say this as someone who was actually falsely accused, I still am fine that some people believed her, but I was relieved when she recanted and apologized. Fact is she deserved to believed still.
