it's Sexual Assault Awareness Month…
and it crashes into us with the news of millions of
views of some type of “online rape academy,”
and at first, we feel rage. but then… we feel
not so surprised at all.
and it's because we've already known too many
versions of this… and it feels common… and what
actually feels foreign is to even consider a world where
SA is just terrible and rare. and so i try to imagine it…
like what if we could have that world?
but then i feel more rage… because i don't want to
just imagine it, i want it to be real. i want to live
in a world where the horrible things that we've
accepted as common could only
ever be terrible and rare.
