Amen.is that they basically revictimize someone every time they open their mouths. I have observed this phenomenon with pretty much every guy I know.
News flash: If you have a friend who spends her free time working with survivors, it’s probably personal for her.
also true for women who spends her work time on issues of domestic violence or sexual assault.
in fact, it’s probably easier just to assume that it’s personal for every woman you encounter.
and please don’t tell me to “relax” or not “get worked up” over it.
and in the world of wocsurvival, definitely don’t tell me “yeah but race is so much more important” as though the two are completely separate things
as though you don’t have a mom/sister/aunt/niece/daughter
