Over on Huffington Post, I just had someone say to me, “A woman isn’t a rape victim until the man is convicted. Until then she’s just an accuser.”
Crippled Christ on a fucking crutch. I think I’m going to throw up.
No, seriously.
(20% of women have been raped. 6% of rapists ever see a day in jail.)
‘Until then she’s just an accuser.’
‘Until then she’s just an accuser.’
‘Until then she’s just an accuser.’
This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.
/blinks a few times
I cant even…what the fuck?…seriously?…
The word bugging me most in the sentence: JUST. JUST. Just is what you say when youre blowing something off, saying it’s not important, saying it’s not real or doesnt need to be bothered with. “She’s JUST an accuser. She’s JUST a person who’s been hurt, but until you prove HE hurt you, your pain isnt real.”

because i have no words
How we #talkaboutit is also very important. IDE.
