But unlike that good Christian love you showed with your victim blaming, even though I think you're kinda awful I also think what happened to you is very awful and I'm sorry you had to go through that. (I mean the rape, not the thread where people wanted you gone because you're an overwhelmingly negative influence).
IDK a lot of the brethren seem to think the golden rule is theirs...

Some even try and divorce it from the bible:

I know you don't tell a story like that to trump card an argument and still get to play the wounded victim. I speak from a position of self empowerment that comes from confronting what happening, grieving the loss and eventually moving one, so said event does not become the single life event that defines you. But again my opinion did not matter as everyone wanted to treat this as a fresh wound, which it is those type of people who use old hurt as a fresh wound set the wrong victim mind set in this country. You would do so much more for the person by PUSHING or shoving them off their rape nest and into recovery rather than let them sit on it for 25 years as if it happened yesterday. To see someone milk something so.. hurtful makes me sick sick for them and everyone else who is working so hard to not let this one thing define every aspect of life.
But again, what do I know. I am not a woman and I breached a traditionally woman only subject. which was the real crime here if we were to be honest with each other. There are certain no go zones in society. Things you can not say or do no matter what. slavery is one, rape is another. Can't be white and talk about slavery in the positive, can't be a man and have an opinion on rape no matter what.
