i wholeheartedly agree with what you’ve said here, i’ve unfortunately had experience with sexual violence from all angles: a friend of mine was the woman who finally got the story of Marc Emery’s sex pestery published, I’ve supported other women at events and sometimes recounting what happened, even to myself is so surreal
there are failures of inexperience and failures by choice, and I am very tired of hearing about victims being held to documentarian standards whilst the people around them quietly contribute to their social death behind closed doors in addition to everything else they have to go through
it’s been a difficult few years knowing i wasn’t even worth a direct ‘we don’t believe you and we’re not going to do anything’ from either community or event, and i really can’t tell you how much this comment means to me <3
truly, thank you Fran <3
