(November 27, 2012 at 1:51 pm)festive1 Wrote: Trauma is relative, subjective. What one person finds traumatic another may find relatively normal. However, the violation of one's own body, even without the threat of being killed, is an ultimate powerlessness. Not being able to protect oneself from violation is terrifying. Facing death is also terrifying. I don't think there is a hierarchy of one being worse than the other. If one is powerless to defend themselves from being raped, one is also powerless from fending off death at the hands of an attacker. On some level it is the same, a violation of the person's very being.

These accounts of why rape is harmful always seem like such bullshit. What if someone hugs you without your permission? Isn't that "violating" you, since you aren't consenting to it? Isn't that a "violation of the person's very being"?

Isn't the main reason that we find rape so abhorrent and traumatic...because of how we think about sex? Someone hitting (without consent) a person in the face with a broomstick is one thing. Someone forcefully and without consent shoving a broomstick up a person's anus is another.

“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
