Raped once, not entirely sure how many times I've been assaulted to be honest. It was almost normal for me at one point.
[–][deleted] 67 points68 points69 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm coming to terms with the fact that my ex probably raped me most times we were together, not the stereotype of holding me down but in coercive, manipulative ways.

he had her blood on his shirt, he caused bruises on her neck and privates and he paid her a huge sum to settle the case out of court. that alone should have been enough for him to be disgraced as a rapist but people are still defending him
[–]TAgurlFDS Newbie18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
They’re defending it as ‘just rough sex’! Even the pickmeishas are chiming in to comment on how much they love rough sex and how it can leave bruises on the neck and contusions in the vagina etc. Sickened when I read this from a female. Just because some people like it rough doesn’t excuse actual rape!

I don’t normally comment in general on Reddit, but.... (a few years ago now) I got called in for jury duty about a week after getting my rape kit procedure performed. I was so excited, I’d never been called in for jury duty before and I’m a fairly active politically minded person, so I was genuinely excited to be part of the legal process. I thought it would be a welcome distraction from how shitty I’d been feeling. Then I find out it’s for a sexual assault case. I had three panic attacks in the bathroom. I knew I wasn’t gonna make it and so I asked for a private moment with the judge. I wasn’t familiar with the process at all - where I am, it’s a tad confusing and it’s not like there’s a lead juror in the beginning of the selection. The judge came in, followed by the entire prosecution and defense teams, including the defendant. I then started hysterically sobbing and telling A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE I DIDN’T KNOW I had just been raped recently.
I don’t know if that’s fully relevant, but I felt like sharing

Attorneys shouldn't be allowed to ask women that question. That's a law we can campaign for and get made.
[–]DelicateDreamFDS Disciple51 points52 points53 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don’t know if it’s the case in every US state or county but where I’m at, if they want to know that info then you have the option to speak in private with the judge and lawyers. Still not a great situation and I think it may be an option commonly offered and not a law. But every time I’ve seen someone exercise that option they got dismissed. Of course it could be they disclosed they wouldn’t be comfortable hearing the details of the case.

Reported rape/attempted rape? If so, double it for a more accurate statistic. There is very little upside to reporting a rape. Justice comes at a high personal cost. Most people just want to try to never think about it again, not have their character dragged through the mud while they relive it over and over again in front of dozens of people who want to not believe you.

all men collude with each other on the global project of rape. if one were to be called out, they would all have to be confronted with their own behavior. so they all defend each other to the death. Dworkin said that the common project of men is misogyny. its the only thing that brings them any kind of solidarity, otherwise they would be at each others throats. without women to torture men would completely wipe each other out. its only our enduring their mistreatment that anything gets done in this world, otherwise it would all fall apart instantly.

That’s the sad part. They don’t know. And that’s why they’re quick to defend their buddies that have been accused of abuse. Because then that would make them abusers.

i think all of them know. after all, they simultaneously tell us to be careful of men like its inevitable we'll be raped, yet then deny it when it actually happens. its all gaslighting. they are all well aware of their lies and tortures. what man won't warn his own daughter of the impending danger of men once she starts going through puberty? both my father and step father warned me. yet when i later told them in my adult years that i had been assaulted, surprise surprise, guess what they fucking response was? gaslighting their own daughter.
[–]rinabeanFDS Disciple7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
They know, look how they all talk about their daughters and boys. They know it's abuse then.
They know it'd all be abuse if a man did it to them, too.
They just don't care. That's the really sad part, that we make excuses for them that they wouldn't make for themselves because of how absolutely excruciating it is to know that they don't care.

[–]CyanCayenneFDS Newbie52 points53 points54 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if a woman has no legal history of sending her rapist to prison, she should morally not have to recuse herself from these juries, she should make a point to stay. (Not that sending a rapist to prison is a good reason to recuse them, but at least there is no legal connection).
They want to act like rape isn't real until a woman has to be on a jury, outrageous right!?

i asked the women i knew in my circle, they ALL had a story of some kind. people think sexual attacks only happen to women over 18 but most of the women i knew had abuse before they were 12. none of the men who molested them ever saw a courtroom or a jail cell. its so common and its why women are focusing on their careers and abandoning dating altogether
[–]Unlikely-MarzipanRuthless Strategist4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. And even if they don’t rape or assault you. You just never know the kind of guy he is deep down, until you find out he’s assaulting other women or girls. I was once blind drunk and 17 at a work function. I was throwing to outside the bar, and a male “friend” stayed outside with me. He proceeded to molest me, while I was being sick!!! The whole time he was saying “what am I doing. I have a girlfriend! What am I doing!” - well yea what about your poor girlfriend that thinks she’s got a diamond, for one. But also what about not molesting a girl who’s throwing up drunk. Wth is wrong with these men. This guy seemed like a really nice guy by the way... so many of these experiences have scarred me, and I just can’t seem to trust men when I’m dating them to not hurt me physically, and also not cheat. It seems impossible.

From 22 to 29 I didn't have one close female friend who hadn't been raped. Even my female physical therapist, counselors I went to when I was looking for help, and my hairdresser have all been raped too.
I finally got to know two women online who hadn't been raped. They were both lesbians.
Being alone with men is dangerous. Even a wonderful nice man who you've known for a year who has always been a tender, sweet lover will often rape you when you tell him no.
This is why we need to be careful, learn red flags, leave at the first sign of abuse, and never be dependent on a man financially or emotionally.
Also never meet up with a man to dump him or after you have dumped him. Unless that man has always been completely respectful and never abusive, and then only meet him in public. I have probably read a hundred stories of a man getting dumped so he invites the woman over to talk about it and he rapes her or assaults her.

I had one ex of 5 years who decided that when we were on the verge of breaking up, he would get me blackout drunk. He tried to make me have sex the next morning even though I was sick and told him no 100X. He even followed me into my shower to attempt to try. He wouldn't dare rape me though when I shoved him. I can't believe after 5 years someone would want to act like that. I truly believe that he raped someone at one point of his life. I know he was accused of it before.

I'll always be grateful for 2 of my male gay friends who were physically present when my ex came banging on my door when I ignored his phone calls after a break up. His eyes were crazy and I'm sure it would've gone horribly if my male friends weren't there. He and one of them almost got into a fight too. I was conditioned to accept his abusive behavior by that point. That last freak out of his was the final straw, and with my friends there to support me, I finally felt strong enough to let him go. I've had to forgive myself a lot for that relationship. Like, why did I put up with his tantrums and abuse? I realized recently that I subconsciously chose to be with him because I knew he couldn't ever love me and I didn't think I deserved to be loved. I used to think I dated him because I thought that's the love I deserved, but it turns out I didn't think I deserved love at all. This stems from my father (le sigh), but I'm working through it. I still struggle with feeling value in myself, but now I can cope with it better. This community has been amazing for my self confidence. It's also sad how true all of this is. Men really have a problem, worldwide. They need to self reflect and fix themselves (as many women do). It's really infuriating.
[–]MaisiebrFDS Newbie64 points65 points66 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I almost met up after a breakup AND he has been abusive previously. I was gaslighted and guilt tripped to no end, so I gave in (to be honest, I was the one who let him - blocked sms still appears on my phone but in a different place - and I checked and answered the most outrageous ones). At the last moment I had the most horrible gut feeling that I shouldn't meet him, so I politely told him that. He threatened to come to my house and I'm so glad he actually didn't, but I'm sure if we met, it wouldn't have ended well.
[–]extraacct1234Ruthless Strategist[S] 63 points64 points65 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Good for you! I'm so glad you listened to your gut. He sounds dangerous as hell.
Women are gaslighted to put niceness and courtesy ahead of our own common sense and safety. Don't let men trick you with their lies. There's nothing impolite in refusing to meet with an abuser privately when dumping him!
[–]Unlikely-MarzipanRuthless Strategist2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I’m so glad you said this. I’m actually thinking of breaking up with my bf over text. He’s being super nice now, but it’s been a month of hell. I should’ve followed through and ended it this week before he started being nice again. I am a bit worried that he will gaslight me no end, which has worked for him for 9 months now! But if I stick to my guns and follow through how he might react. Or I may need to do it out the front of his house and just leave straight away and not go back.
[–]extraacct1234Ruthless Strategist[S] 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
now I don't give them the chance to gaslight me. I will send the person to text and then just block them. It's not my job to take their abuse or gaslighting. I'm not getting paid for it. Bye-bye!
You can do it! Make a list of all the stuff he's done to you and just keep reading it every time he's nice to you and every time you find yourself making excuses for him and every time that you find yourself "remembering the good times".
[–]MaisiebrFDS Newbie1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The list is actually very useful. If you're in a place like that you tend to think differently and it's helpful to have such sound reminders. It can work in many different ways. I used it to convince my pretty much trauma bonded self to not take any more shit. If it's written down, you can't rationalise it any more, it's there.
[–]ignis17981 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If it can help —you don’t owe him a good reason to break up with him. If you don’t want to be with him anymore, it doesn’t matter if it’s because the sky is blue or because he’s an asshole, it’s reason enough break up. But if you do give him an explanation as a courtesy, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree with it. Even if he manages to poke holes into every argument you have it doesn’t matter because you still don’t want to be with him, and that’s all the reasons you need.
[–]Unlikely-MarzipanRuthless Strategist0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is a good point. It’s so hard because I want to be with him still - but I know by being with him, I’m being a pushover. He doesn’t love me and treats me like crap. I can’t keep thinking he’s going to change for me. It’s a tough pill to swallow realising that he really just does not want me.

Don't go to male doctors or therapist if you can help it. When I was 13, I had really bad stomach pain. I was taken to the hospital and the doctor chalked it up to be me being pregnant. They did a virginity check and broke my hymen (very painful btw) in a room full of (male) doctors, nurses and my parents. Finally they did a scan and find out I had apendecities.
They don't listen when you tell them. I almost died that day.
[–]pallacat59 points60 points61 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Something similar happened to me. I was 14, in a lot of pain, and they kept asking me if I was sexually active because they thought I had some kind of STD infection, despite me telling them I was a virgin and never had sexual intercourse. They dosed me with morphine (which was awful) and thankfully my mom had the sound of mind to take me out of there. She was so angry!
When we arrived at the second hospital, it took a female doctor a few seconds of feeling my abdomen and she told me that I had an acute appendicitis and I was rushed to emergency surgery. My mother and that female doctor saved my life!
[–]mantaraymagicAt-Risk Pick Me Youth45 points46 points47 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's crazy how much male doctors will chalk up female pain to being sexually active, gaining weight (even if it's in a healthy range), and similar things. I got bullshit diagnoses for years until I switched to a female doctor and female psych, whom are both amazing. I don't care if I have to wait weeks for an appointment with either, I'm never changing!

Honestly there a few conditions that cause lower abdominal pain in a woman related to sexual activity and pregnancy and not related. I know a nurse and right lower abdominal pain in a young women could be ectopic pregnancy (life threatening) an STD forming a Fallopian tube abscess (life threatening), ovary twisting on itself and dying called ovarian torsion (not related to sexual activity, could lead to loss of ovary), bleeding ovarian cyst (not related to sexual activity very painful). You would need to a pelvic exam to assess these issues which involves inserting a speculum (plastic or metal device into the vagina). It’s not a virginity check. Unfortunately a lot of times women either don’t know they are pregnant or lie about sexual activity. This delays diagnosing something like a ruptured ectopic pregnancy which can quickly lead to death faster than any appendicitis would.

I was sexually assaulted by my doctor when I was 16. He’d been my doctor since I was 5 years old. So many articles appear in the paper about male drs assaulting women (don’t think I’ve ever seen the reverse reported). Unfortunately, we can’t automatically trust our health care professionals.

This reminds me of when my mom went to jury duty, I think I was in middle school or highschool. It was afterwards that she told my sister and I about her assault as a child and suddenly her over protectiveness of me and my sister made sense.
During jury selection she was asked and had to explain her assault, however they still chose her.
She was put on a case where a woman confided to her husband that she was raped by a family member as a teen and the husband took the family member aside during a family get together and beat him up. Sadly there was not enough to convict the man and she felt terrible about that, but she noticed that the female members of the jury believed the woman and the men were very very reluctant to want to put the man away. (or how she phrased it "one of their own.")
Yep. A man's only concern is their penis.

It's crazy that it's supposed to be a jury of your peers... But are they really your peers if they fully eliminate the people who can truly empathize with the victims? Do they do this to people in car accident cases... "oh you have been in a car accident before, you are dismissed"

This is fucked up. I don't know many women who wouldn't be excluded on this basis. This effectively disenfranchises women from serving on juries.

Kind of? I mean I agree with everything said except that last line. But yeah either they shouldn’t have asked the women that, or they should have followed up by asking the men about their past.

I told one of those guys that man on man rape is increasing so welcome to the party. He scoffed at the idea and said he will never be raped and he thanked me for my lack of empathy. I have no empathy. It's time for men to get a taste of this medicine.

Bet no one asked which of the men had assaulted anyone.
