RE: This woman was raped, then did a TED Talk with the man who did it!

in #life7 years ago

Men and women have the right to dress as they wish, to walk alone at night, to flirt, to be sexy, to dance provocatively, to drink, to make out . . . . . .and to say “no” or “stop” at any time. Drinking unsafely and walking alone at night likely do make a person more vulnerable, most survivors would agree with that. But no one has the right to rape us, ever, no matter what we say or do. Were there choices you could have made that would have protected you? Of course. We also can spend our entire lives never leaving the house. The fact is rape will not stop happening until rapists stop raping. No one has the right to perpetrate abuse against another. No one had the right to rape you!

I agree with you fully! We all deserve to do as we please, without another person harming you or dictating the outcome of anything you do with your life. Thanks for your in depth comment!!!
