It boils my blood to hear someone tell a victim of rape to “Get over it.”
Now, I have not been raped and I’m not even going to pretend to understand the pain that survivors go through. But I was sexually assaulted once at a young age and that shit still sits with me to this day. 10 years later and I am still not over it. I’m not sure that I ever will be. It’s not something that I let control my life but I am still. Not. Over. It. And to tell someone who has been raped, (and I see rape as much more damaging than being groped by some perv in an elevator) to simply “Get over it,” I just don’t understand that…
I don’t.
And honestly, I don’t want to. Because it takes a sick motherfucker to say some shit like that.
