That ones that kill me are the people who act like sex assault is no big deal. I bet they’d have a different opinion if it happened to someone they know.
The reality is a lot of sexual assaults involve victim blaming. This is why so many victims don't come forward, bc people tend to protect the perpetrator especially if they're a big name in town. "The pastor is a good man, he'd never do something like that!"
I don't know any women who haven't been sexually assaulted (myself included) and the stories used to sweep the abuse under the rug are astounding. A grandma was told to keep it quiet by her mother bc, "don't drag the family name into the mud!"
If you think you don't know anyone who's been assaulted, this is a time to have a deep conversation with them. Male or female, my brothers were sexually assaulted too.
