Teen: I Was Raped by 4 200-Pound Women

[Nay]

138. Only 1 in 4? It has to be higher than that. I personally have been physically grabbed twice (both

times in normal surroundings, both times I got away); had 6 drunk men in a car try to shove my car off the road late at night (I would probably be dead if I had been caught--after being raped multiple times, of course); and was nearly raped in my apartment by a man I had dated a couple of times and who was the brother of a female friend. To say I have trust issues is to hardly scratch the surface.

I don't trust any strange man, in any circumstance. There have been a few times when I had to rely on strange men in order to get out of situations that could have turned into truly dangerous ones, but I was lucky in that these helpful men understood exactly why I felt as I did and went out of their way to understand it.

I have no idea why so many men get offended when women state that they must be wary of all men, and that they must treat all strange men as potentially dangerous to them. I can only chalk it up to the fact that lots of people truly don't have the imagination or empathy to put themselves in another's place, even for the few seconds required to understand someone else's point.
