I hate how often I see that shit as a “gotcha.” They set society up in a way that makes it an absolute nightmare to go through the process of even just reporting the assault. Good luck getting a conviction, unless you have a fucking video (and even then, toss-up). And then regardless of which way the trial ends up going, people never look at you or treat you the same ever again. It’s really no fucking wonder…
And conservatives use this shit as a “well, it must not have happened because she never reported it.” Yeah no shit. You know why.
Nearly a third of sexual assault victims never share their assault with anyone.
And you’re surprised someone didn’t press charges.
