For those of you who believe it's acceptable to belittle rape and sexual abuse.

No, it's not. You might be casual, you might be trying to break a taboo, but for those people who've been hurt by it, it's just coming over as insensitive in the extreme.

I don't mean those people whose own rapes/abuse are not important to them - I mean those people who act as though other people's are. If you don't think this applies to you, it probably doesn't, and I'm glad.

In solidarity, not from experience:No pity. No shame. No silence.
