Difficult Subject

I was watching the news just now and they had a story on about rape. They were talking about how rape is such a personal crime and it never leaves you and there are all this misconceptions about it. How there is this conspiracy of silence about the whole thing and that people think rape victims never move on or try to get their lives in order. It's not that they never move on,it's just, like the story on the news said, it never leaves them. It's always in the back of their minds. It distorts your perceptions of life, of men, of yourself. You don't know who to trust, you can't even trust your own judgement anymore.

Of course the PC thing to say would be to report it, put the bastard away, do your bit for King and Country, etc. etc. But it's really not that simple. Like I said, it distorts your judgement, sometimes to the point where you don't even know if you were raped at all. Maybe the guy who did it said some things that made you change your mind and make you think you overreacted.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now and leave everyone to wonder what the hell I was talking about. I'd love to go into detail but it's christmas and I wanna be happy for a change. I guess I'll just stop watching the news.
