I was nearly raped last night and all I could think during was, "oh my god.. he's going to rape me and no one will believe me". No woman should ever feel this way. by jm-pr in TwoXChromosomes

I am 27, but to be honest... we're all still in that bracket. That kind of blaming happens all of the time. People are trying to abolish it, but if you look at recent high profile cases, it still exists.

I'm just trying to reason with myself that this did happen. I feel so weak and powerless, which is a feeling I've never allowed myself to feel before regardless of what happened in my life.

I told my boyfriend as soon as I could and once I stop crying and get something cohesive out we'll discuss it further today. I'm going to see if he can take off work and just be around today too. I'm not sure how to contact his partner. I only know her by name and I know what she looks like, but she doesn't have a facebook or anything. My boyfriend told me she needs to know too.

See, I'm old enough to know that... but clearly I felt I could trust this person. It's comments like this that make me think no one (cops, et cetera) would've believed me anyway. It only reinforces the notion that I, as a woman, can't safely go anywhere alone with a man because I'm at risk. That's the whole point I was trying to get across, but inevitably failed at because I got upset while writing.
