I’m sorry. Most men, myself included don’t understand the trauma of rape. Our bodies are not designed for perceiving its objective perpetration. It’s very difficult to even imagine rape in a traumatically meaningful way without our maleness undermining our best intentions.

We have this world, still a mans world through and through. The cops, the jury, everyone sees through this mans-world lens. Like feminism, the first step is to unsee our normal, to recalibrate it.

This your testimony helps, the victims are silent in our heads until we hear their screams.

Thank you for speaking up. Hugs.

I promise you, I won’t rape anyone. Ever.
