I remember an interview with Robert Downey Jr after he’d gotten out prison (yeah, the pre-Iron Man days). He was asked what the worst thing was that happened to him there. He said, “I’ll never tell you the worst thing that happened to me in prison.”
I don’t know that he meant rape but most guys would think that was what he meant. We would never want to admit to rape, to the her powerlessness and violation. Why do we think women are in a hurry to do this? Or that they enjoy broadcasting that they were a victim?
It’s brave that women come forward and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But women don’t enjoy revealing this.
