<![CDATA[So, this is difficult.]]>So, this is difficult. I’m not going to hide this behind a content warning, but I warn you now to click away if you are triggered by sexual assault. I’m not hiding it because I’m tired of hiding it. I’m tired of pretending we’re the ones with something to hide.

This CNN story has broken me. Thousands of men congregated to share tips and drugs so they could roofie their wives and partners to film them being raped. A rape academy. Millions watched the videos.

We’re told to fear men in public. Carry your keys in your hand, cover your drink in public, never let your guard down if outside your house.

The rapist was in the house the whole time.

When I was in 3rd grade a friend’s father drugged and took pics raping me. Those pics are still circulating. He wasn’t punished. I was beaten for being a whore. I haven’t had a single day since I was 7, where I didn’t worry that someone had seen them.

I’m not ok today, and I’m not alone. Be kind to each other.

I think it’s how I’m dealing with this story. I’ve just put part of myself in a safe room, and keep moving. It’s all you can do, really.

Good effin' Lord. May the heavens be with you; and hopefully the bastard who assaulted you gets his ass roasted hotter than a thousand Hells. And, same to anyone supporting, attending, or defending that "rape academy".

Mrs DB told me about this “rape academy” and I’m flabbergasted and outraged at the behavior of these “men” I hope that you are able to find some peace, in spite of the nightmare that has been inflicted upon you.

And there should really be more bears and fewer men in the world.

Men are fucking awful, and I'd rather live in solitude than potentially make one more person afraid of me just by existing.
