So if I write about one instance, a glaring example of how people perpetuate rape culture and the fall out it can produce, I have to write about every. single. one?

Got it.

Thanks for reminding me. I’ve been so busy writing ever since because of all the people like you taking the time out to remind me that I am tasked with writing about EVERY instance of rape, assault, battery, harassment, abuse, rape apologist, etc.

Or, I don’t know, here’s a thought.

Maybe just read this piece and accept it for what it is. Me, sharing a very scary, intimate, shameful incident from my life in an effort to illustrate to those who don’t get it (I’m looking right at you now) how his language, in this particular instance, is dangerous. It was an attempt to explain to those who wondered “what’s the big deal” about what he said, exactly what the very big deal is.

Nowhere in this piece did I tell anyone who to vote for instead of him. (There are 4 candidates total.) Nowhere did I mention who I’m voting for. Nowhere did I defend Hillary or Bill Clinton.

But hey, thanks for forcing me to detail all of that. Again.
