What Are You Really Protecting Us From?
CW: rape, sexual assault, incest, institutional betrayal, homophobia The world is changing, this much we know. But for some of us, it’s not fast enough. I honestly don’t remember when I first learnt about rape. I remember being taught that stranger danger wasn’t the only form that dangerous men took when I was in primary school. I vividly remember an exercise where we had to decide whether or not a step-father asking his step-daughter to wash his back in the shower was wrong.
