I simply said "If you've been sexually assaulted, we believe you, and we can help. Please call our 24/7 crisis line at 503.235.5333" There can't be anything worse than being a survivor, and logging on to that site only to find people telling you you deserved it.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264200300446876392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832166490210857791.post-23820606111413100212008-01-10T15:28:00.000-08:002008-01-10T15:28:00.000-08:00I decided not to comment on the wweek site and ins...I decided not to comment on the wweek site and instead wrote an email to Beth Slovic, the reporter on this piece. I thanked her for covering this story, and let her know what I thought about it. It felt good. Linda suggested we submit it or something similar to the editor as well...Ledenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274914709722291978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832166490210857791.post-47956773147188107632008-01-10T14:28:00.000-08:002008-01-10T14:28:00.000-08:00I wrote to Cosmo when the original article about "...I wrote to Cosmo when the original article about "gray rape" came out last summer.<BR/><BR/>They wrote back to me to let me know that Laura Sessions Stepp has been writing about rape for many years, and the district attorney who was interviewed in the piece had been prosecuting sex crimes for a long time. <BR/><BR/>It's unfortunate that they weren't able to take my comments to heart, as I made it quite clear that I also worked in the field of domestic violence and sexual assault. <BR/><BR/>I guess they don't think empowerment sells magazines.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264200300446876392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832166490210857791.post-31834781844834222552008-01-10T13:07:00.000-08:002008-01-10T13:07:00.000-08:00I just read the comments and I'm actually sick to ...I just read the comments and I'm actually sick to my stomach. I even had to respond to a comment by one of the guys who put the blame on the survivor.<BR/><BR/>I get in such a bubble within the DV/SA community in which I'm surrounded by people who don't regularly blame victims and have mostly sexist views. I guess I forget that a lot of people in this world still hold really gross beliefs about women and sexual assault. ICK.KelseyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251342538306225357noreply@blogger.com
