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"

Yes I have.

I told my closest 2 friends about it and I kept my mouth shut. I know how someone that has been put in a situation like that would react, it is not by going on instagram and posting pics to get attention and followers. People just keep quiet about it, unless it was a fucking brutal experience. And no, it's not a stereotype that people are traumatized after an experience like this, it's the real fucking truth. I won't believe for a second someone that was raped would be just cool about it. Fuck no. Maybe after 20 years or so.
