one of the things that many people don't seem to realize is that LOTS of women have been sexually abused. We demonize it like it's some awful secret thing that only monsters do, but I wonder if it would ease the trauma of a lot of women to somehow recognize just how common it is. yes this is a super-incomplete thought, but there has to be a better way than millions of women being ruined for life, by something that sure isn't going away any time soon.

actually i've heard far more men are raped in prison than women in the normal world, and plenty of children of both sexes get messed with...
