Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture

It doesn’t matter if I’m one or one of many. I may call you my rapist but we know that isn’t true. Whatever law or rumor says, whoever else there was, you were never mine. You were the rapist I ran into

Don’t ever use an insult for a woman that you wouldn’t use for a man. Say “jerk” or “shithead” or “asshole.” Don’t say “bitch” or “whore” or “slut.” If you say “asshole,” you’re criticizing her parking skills. If you say “bitch,” you’re criticizing her gender.
