I'm a shame in silence kind of person unless I'm sure the person who got me will get theirs. (To be clear, I want other women to report and I will back them up like crazy.

Exactly. It rarely ever makes a difference. That is one of the obvious reasons people don’t report sexual assaults; something that seems lost on our buddy Hugster.
And sadly, it ends up with a vicious cycle where, to recontextualise an old Thucydides quote, the strong do what they can (with their cocks) and the weak suffer what they must (with their bodies.) [Note: this is not, I repeat NOT, me falling into the "Just World Fallacy." I know this state of affairs is horrible bullshit, but, for the sake of perpetuation of the cycle, it works.] And due to a perfect storm of police officers not caring or not believing (banking too much on the possibility that any given case will fall into the 5.5% of sexual assault reports that are fake) and the crime itself being shockingly hard to successfully prosecute even with competent police work, the cycle just keeps spinning, and who knows if we'll ever see it break?
