Have you ever been raped? How many people you know personally have been raped?
A few. I've never been raped. Have you? I do know people have different ways to cope with rape. And people have different reactions. I was in this lecture at my uni, and we were discussing rape and sexual crimes, and this girl raised her hand and said basically this "I understand how traumatic rape can be, but we need to erase the stereotype that people who are raped are supposed to remain with a huge trauma forever. I was raped and now I'm doing fine and barely experienced any of the issues that are frequently attributed to victims. All of this to say there isn't a perfect victim, or an ideal one, there's people who react differently and have different results and ways of dealing with problems"
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
