Let's also tlk abt the massive harm and trauma microaggressive predatory behavior, like #ChrisHeuertz's does to one's psyche. Just bc there was so physical assault dsnt mean there's no abuse or predatory behavior. It's manipulation, makes the victim seem crazy.

Microaggressive abuse is so harmful bc first the victim nds to even process thru, acknowledge there WAS abuse. This takes so long. This is why the collective women coming together is so imp bc it's possibly the 1st time realizing, omg I'm not crazy. I wasn't overreacting or wrong
This is why predators isolate their victims. Bc there is strength in numbers. And bc there wasnt overt harm done, most of these abusers are protected and let off w/o much consequence, allowing them to cont their abusive behavior elsewhere.
So when you hear of a victim's story, if your first response is, "but he didnt actually hurt you, he was just being a little creepy maybe, he didn't mean it," know that you're perpetuating rape culture. You're protecting abusive predators. STOP IT NOW.
