TW: sexual assault.





When the first question the cops asked me when I said "I have to report an attempted rape," was "What bar were you coming from?" That and the fact that only after they were satisfied that I was a "good" victim with other stupid leading questions (no, I was coming from uni not a bar, no, I haven't been drinking, yes, my jacket was zipped closed it's fucking October, yes, I screamed, yes, I said no, yes I fought back) would they actually let me tell them real information like a description and which way he went, let alone show me any sympathy, ask me if I were okay, give me water, offer to take me to the hospital.

Honestly, it's almost been a year and I've pretty much gotten over the assault to the point I can talk about it without problems and no longer panic at being alone in the dark, but STILL every time I think about the experience with the police the same impotent, boiling rage comes up to the point that I feel physically ill. Because, fuck it, even if I'd been drinking, or dressed "provocatively" (whatever that means), or too damn scared to resist I would still have deserved respect and help and it would still have been their fucking job to get over themselves and go after the bastard.

... yeah... maybe I should try therapy again.

That's really messed up. Fuck those cops. The whole victim-blaming mindset makes me sick.

This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever read. It's hard to believe that people could be so damn cruel or stupid. Sorry you had to go through that anon. :(

Holy fucking shit. That is absolutely disgusting, and I'm really sorry that you were treated that way. You're right -- there shouldn't be any hurdles to being taken seriously.

wow, that's terrible, anon. you shouldn't have gone through that on top of everything else.

I got angry reading about it.

maybe you should go to therapy? even if just to get that kind of stuff off your chest, and not have to carry it around with you everywhere. it must be exhausting. :(

*hugs* if you want them.

And this is one reason why many women never report their rapes.
