ON YOUR RADAR: HALLOWEEN EVENTS

Before we get into the rest of the events for this week, here are a couple of Halloween events that you should definitely get tickets for. I know it’s taking me a MINUTE to get my list ready, but I’m still waiting for shit to come out so you have a complete list but in the meantime, here you go ♡

Read more

This person and I had been talking on and off, so that’s why I didn’t immediately clock it as what it was. I didn’t report it because of the circumstances; I was drunk, I didn’t say no, I didn’t try to stop it, he didn’t physically hurt me, and it wasn’t the first time we had hooked up.

Who would believe me? Did I even believe me? Was it a strong enough case or serious enough to report?

The fear that no one would believe me or take it seriously became apparent when my best friend, at the time, didn’t believe me and continued being friends with this person. I knew the severity of what reporting would mean for him and me, SVU taught me well. I think I downplayed it because it didn’t happen how a rape in my head was “supposed to happen”. Still confused, doubtful, and afraid, I stayed quiet. It didn’t become real until I was lightheartedly retelling the story and one of my study abroad friends stopped me and said, “That’s rape.”

About a year later, he pulled me aside and apologized. He knew, and I knew what occurred that night. I got the apology many never do but always deserve. I don’t think that the apology can ever erase what happened, clearly.

Rape and sexual assault can take many shapes and forms like in relationships where boyfriends have thought that just because we are in a relationship gives them the right to my body. Where they’ve pressured me to the point where I say “fine” and just give in while hating every second of it, then getting upset at me because I’m not actively participating. Knowing what I know now, that is also, by definition, rape. I wish I had the boundaries, knowledge, and strength to say no then that I do now.

It’s funny, I never say anything about my personal life on Lomargs’ List and this is the first thing I share. Since it happened, I’ve probably told less than 15 people about this, and I’m only bringing up this story to show that this is far more common than the Cornell rapists, the LSU footballer, and Brock Turner. Maybe my story helps one person be less confused or less alone.

Victims have plenty of reasons to not come forward and every single one of them is valid. We’re seeing what can happened when you do come forward, both good and bad. While hearing about all these cases is deeply upsetting and weighs heavily on my heart, what gives me hope is seeing people rally for Jane Doe and hold the 57 Cornell rapists and staff who condoned their behavior accountable. Men need to do better, parents need to do better, and systematically we need to do better.
