Unlike Grace, I was actually raped. The person responsible threatened my life and the life of my child. To those who think I don't know the difference - I do. Very much so. The person who raped me wasn't a celebrity. The person who raped me was someone whom I thought I could trust because unlike Grace, I knew this person. 

Oh - and unlike Grace, I never went to a reporter to get my story out.

Exactly. But nice of people to bring up my actual rape and compare it to this. Like, what the actual fuck.

My guess that there are likely more women this forum who have been raped, or sexually abused in some way than not. 
And disturbingly high number of men as well.

Why do I think that? Because I find that case is real life. Tragically, these sort of events are not all uncommon.
People are ass.

The fact that someone's experience not have been as severe as your own, doesn't mean that it should negated and be subjected to the same victim-blaming you rightfully railed against when it pertained to you, does it? I'm not saying you should automatically believe any and every story presented, but must you utilize these shitty tactics when discussing it and coming to a judgement in a public forum where people can see it?

The premise doesn't even seem that she's lying, but that she "should've known better." Or that one shouldn't realistically expect to withdraw consent once it's been given. Or because someone doesn't take an opportunity to leave, that that they can't be forced to something and therefore MUST like it or at least be okay with it.

How do these sorts bullshit arguments these help anyone who experienced any sort of sexual assault, including rape?
