It is so fucking hard to go to police and report a sexual assault or rape. There is no Olivia Benson, there is no team that is going to track down your rapist and hold your hand while doing so. You are going to be made to feel like slutty scum who somehow brought it on herself.
So all you folks inventing narratives to push your political agenda? You are harming real victims. You are harming women who are already having to fight a misogynist patriarchal narrative that the real liars are women victims, not the men who rape us.
Nicely done.
Nicely done.
When I was nearly killed by a serial rapist, the detective who interviewed me said that if I was lying, police would prosecute me. Then he saw the extent of my injuries. This is what victims face. This is my story of how the system fails us.[TW for VAW]

This is not a beat-up-on-women thread. This is a women-are-not-safe-to-report thread. One function of the #MeToo movement was supposed to be making it easier for women--especially the most vulnerable women--to report these crimes. THAT is what we should be striving towards.
