So. I love Kody Keplinger. A lot.
Now? I love her even more.
Exhibit A: this amazeballs post, which touches on a subject I take very seriously. Yes, she discusses rape. But what I take even more seriously than the consequences of such an atrocious act is The Other People.
You know, those who love to say, "she had it coming."
*takes deep breath*
Folks, go make my Friday and read that post. Pretty please.
And DON'T FORGET! My Blogoversary Book Giveaway ends on Monday the 28th, so hurry up and enter!!
Have a great weekend!
Excellent post. Did you know there's a bill up for consideration in one state (I think Georgia) which would legally classify rape victims as "accusers" instead of "victims." Burglary victims are still victims. Mugging victims are still victims. But rape victims would only be "accusers."
ReplyDeleteWhat does that say about the climate of our society right now?
No, I didn't know that! It's like I told a friend via Twitter: the female gender faces so much BS in our society, it's insane. What troubles me most is how WOMEN condone this type of thinking. That rape victims had some degree of responsibility for what happened to them. As if they had control over what their rapist thought/did.

Even though I already know clicking this link is going to result in me reading the post and then feeling simultaneously very sad and very angry (not at Kody, of course), I'm doing it anyway. Thanks for the heads-up.
