No Possible Title
One of my very closest friends was raped in the weekend.
I wanted to sit down and write about this, make some sense of it. Maybe get control over my thoughts about it. But I can’t.
I am just so fucking angry. All the more so because there’s not a fucking thing I can do to change it or make it better, but try to support my friend through her pain. I feel heavy with the darkness and poisonousness of the situation.

There is one thing I’d like to say, though. My friend was raped by another woman. I say this because some people seem to think that women don’t rape, that “lesbian rape” is an oxymoron. How does a woman rape another woman? With her fist. I am sickened. I say it because my friend is too ashamed to go to the police, too ashamed to even tell most of the people she’s close to (there is myself and another of her friends who know) because they don’t think they’ll believe her. Women don’t rape. Yeah, right.
*HUGS* to you and your friend. That is terrible! She really should report it…no one should get away with that. *random*

What’s shameful is that we live in a world were rape victims are afraid of being unbelieved… I wish your friend health and healing in the future

im so sry! thats is just horrible and coping with it isnt easy. But being there for her helps alot. I had a friend who her and her cousin got drug and rape, it was the cousin x boyfriend… I do hope that your friend goes to the police to make that horrible person pay.

things happened like this in my life…but not “lesbian rape” i always thought it was my fault and i always felt a burden on my shoulders until i finally told my mom after 8 years of it continually happening…be there for your friend at the time but not to close she needs people around her…but at the moment she also probably feels like she did something wrong.

In a world where there is so much violence against women, I am sickened also when women do this to each other. One of my good friends is currently a witness in a case against an ex-girlfriend who abused her physically for months. Can’t we at least look out for each other? I’m so sorry.

no always means no, and one of the worst things about woman on woman rape is the burden of proof. i have had numerous discussions on this topic with no resolve. for you to be a loving friend is the best, it’s true you can’t take back what’s been done but you can most certainly comfort today!
