Thank you! I've survived it with good counselling and support from a few good friends - I lost quite a few who couldn't cope with me being angry about being raped, would you believe it in the 21st century? It's very true that in crises you find out who your real friends are.

Thanks, me neither! In fact, abnormal not to be.
It's all just been reactivated by someone recently accusing me of having lied about it: not going into details here because I've already posted a question about it a few days ago.
Apart from counsellors, I found there were very few people who could accept that it was ok to be angry and that however I dealt with it was OK. In spite of all the wonderful words now spoken about violence against women, there's still a deeply ingrained core of misogyny in society which I despair of ever being totally eradicated. Still trying to, though, sometimes against all odds it seems

No means NO! I don't care if it's a young virgin, a prostitute, another man, a middle-aged nun, an elderly grandmother, etc., etc! "No" is always a complete sentence that should be respected. I think perpetrators who can't take no for an answer, or claim they just can't help themselves are some of the worst, most selfish and entitled sociopaths.
I guess that's why I get so annoyed at the seemingly innocent posts where people ask how they can get a certain individual to have sex with them or perform a particular act with them. My basic philosophy is that if someone says no to a request then it's end of discussion. I guess I have my fair share of experience with codependency, and I think convincing is oftentimes the same as manipulation.
Anyway, I know we don't always agree on everything, and I enjoy a good troll from time to time, but I really and truly respect your wisdom and good character!
