I'm so tired of men, women, children being told to keep quiet when the rape happens.
To believe that any of their actions made the rape their fault.

Not everyone has reached a place in their healing to go public. I do know some of the DUers who are helping to put an end to the rape culture and slut shaming. Until this group SASS was started by DU none of them knew my true story. It wasn't something we talked about in the past. Now I want to work with them if I can to help put an end to the problem.
