Rape is the act of forced penetration of any bodily orifice (vaginally, anally, or orally) or forced cunillingous, involving violation of the survivor's body and psychological person. The assault is accomplished by the use of force, the threat of force, or without force when the survivor is unable to physically or mentally give her or his consent. It is the destruction of a feeling of control over one's body, life, and the course of events. Rape is an experience of violation, degradation, and humiliation. It often infuses the survivors with the shock of their own vulnerability. There is not one type of rape. The survivor's perception of the experience is affected by many variables. It is important to realize that even if the situations of the rape are similar, people are individuals and respond differently to similar situations. Although generalizations are useful and sometimes helpful in learning about the phenomenon of rape and the impact on survivors, it is important to understand that there are always different reactions than those that have been generalized. This site is for anyone who is a victim/survivor of sexual assault/rape/incest/etc. and their supporters. One out of every three adult women have been the victims of rape at least once in their lives, so chances are, everyone knows someone who has been a victim. Everyone should get involved.In memory of women everywhere whose lives have been affected by violence, please place a candle image on your Web page.

My Interests

Stop the violence against women! Click this link to help out (no money or time from you). Every click generates 3 letters to help women who have been victimized by violence.

I'd like to meet:

Other survivors and victims of rape, incest, sexual abuse, sexual assault, or attempt at these. Also, their supporters. I would love to have on here the husbands, friends, parents, counselors of the people described above.IT'S TIME TO SPEAK OUT! It's time to tell others what we have been through. It's time to warn other women. It's time to help ourselves. IT'S TIME TO HEAL! As long as you are a victim, he has won. The minute you become a SURVIVOR, you are ahead. If you aren't afraid, he's lost! Beat him at his own game, and don't be afraid anymore.

Music:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.

Movies:

A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. women should learn self-defense. women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all.instead of that bullshit, how about: if a woman is drunk, don't rape her.if a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her. if a woman is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her. if a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her. if a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her. if a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.if a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her. if a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.if a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.if a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.if a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her. if a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.if a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her. if your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her. if your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her. if you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her. if your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.if your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.if your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.don't imply that it's in any way her fault.don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl. don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself.
