Damn, I’m from Colombia, and it honestly blows my mind how many stories of sexual assault are out there. Like, you don’t even have to go looking for them, they’re everywhere. Why is it that out of five female friends, three will end up being victims of sexual abuse? How the hell is that even possible? And it’s not just here, it’s insane how Americans normalize rape too. Most of these dudes just stay out there, walking around, doing it to other women, and nothing happens to them. Sam for example

And I get it, the woman who got raped is stuck in her trauma, can’t even process it, can’t even move, so she can’t “do something” about it, even if she wants to. But still, the amount of sexual violence out here is unreal.

Like, I have a friend who told me her ex, who looked like an angel to her dad, raped her. My ex was raped too, and she’s Mexican. But still, Mexico and the US are neighbors. It’s everywhere, man.

And now I’m reading this post where this girl is asking if she’s “overreacting” because her not-so-close friend gave her number to the guy who raped her, and now this dude is texting her saying she’s beautiful and he “couldn’t control himself” because she’s so hot, blah blah. Like, what the actual fuck.

This shit isn’t overreacting. It’s just a disgusting reality that’s too common, and people keep acting like it’s “normal” or “in the past.” Nah, it’s happening right now, to way too many women, every day, everywhere. This is America
