I have no idea how to link the post this applies to. The author has a journal under the name of misia.

I think that anything and everything I could possibly say has been covered by the hundreds of incredibly honest and heartfelt responses she has already received.

the thing that disturbs me is that nearly every girl I know, nealry ever girl I am a friend of has been a victim of sexual violence. and I don't think I am attracting victims I think the scary thing is that the people who have NOT experienced it are the minority

You're right, there.

I know several girls who've been close enough to me who've told me that they've been raped, or otherwise sexually abused/assaulted.

And I thought it was just that the gothscene attracted screwed up people... well.. it does. But, you know.

It's not an easy thing to say. Especially being a guy. When most people think about sexual violence, they think about helpless little girls. I am 6'2" 260lbs. I don't bring it up much, because I don't like to make the same debate over and over again. I will tell my story, it doesn't bother me. I've settled it with myself, but someone trying to reheal the same wound is only frustrating, because the real wound is twofold: the people that do it and the people that choose not to believe it exists.
