We have elected in this space to write a letter to a person who seeks out survivors of rape and sexual abuse in an effort to harass these survivors and accuse them of making false accusations. As this person clearly seeks to promote rape as much as possible, we view her as a perpetrator's accomplice. Here, then, is our letter:
Site Owner,
How you can dare to insult the intelligence of the Internet community by printing your lies and propaganda regarding rape and sexual abuse is beyond me. You advocate rape, plain and simple, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You claim to have been the victim of sexual violence on two occasions, and frankly I believe you. These traumatic experiences explain a great deal about your inability to cope with your own shame and guilt regarding these incidents. That you have gone to such great lengths to harass survivors of rape and sexual abuse is an indication of your own inability to accept that you did not have the power to change what happened to you. You want everyone to believe that you are strong, that you can "take" whatever a man dishes out to you, but deep down you have never addressed your own issues because you have convinced yourself that you are to blame for these two assaults. Me telling you this probably will not change anything. You are so firmly entrenched in your warped philosophy that you cannot view the issue objectively. In all likelihood, you will continue to defend the indefensible, and I expect that you will copy this letter (just as you have copied several other items from this site and our e-mails) in order to attack it. If you do, consider it a further indication that you need serious psychological attention. I hope that one day you will be able to see the truth for what it is.
I do not plan to address this issue any longer with you. You have taken up enough of our time, and the best thing we can do is focus on the reason we created our web site: to help survivors of sexual assault cope with the issues surrounding their attacks.
Sincerely,
Dan
Site Owner,
There are so many individuals out there who do not understand what rape and sexual abuse really is. You are one of them. No matter the circumstance, a woman has the RIGHT to decide what will or will not happen to her body. No one can take that from her. Being married does not relinquish that right.
Dating does not relinquish that right. Getting drunk, passing out, being drugged, etc. does not relinquish that right.
It is not a feminist thought to want to have control over my own body. I have never even considered myself a feminist. But, if by taking charge of what happens to me and my body classifies me as a feminist, then by all means, I am a feminist. Being a woman does not mean that I have to submit to the will of any man. A woman, either married or single, has the right to
make her own decisions as to what is going to happen to her body. For example, just because a woman is married, that does not give her husband the right to do anything he likes to her. That is slavery and, as far as I know, slavery is illegal.
In regards to the matter that, according to you, I am a satanic neo-nazi feminist, I have this to say: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of he Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 If you believe that marital rape or date rape do not exist, then you project the belief that men have the right to control women's bodies. This belief elevates men to the level of gods. In my belief, there is only ONE God, and men are mortal humans. Therefore, no man has the right to take the control of a woman's body away from her.
I, like Dan, am tired of dealing with you. I am going to concentrate or trying to help others.
