82. First I am sorry for your ordeal and glad you are working to help
I am truly sorry about your pain and am sure that your work to help others has the side effect of furthering your own healing from being raped.

That being said - please don't lump ALL men in with rapists. Not all men are rapist and though it is exceedingly rare not even all rapists are men. When you say things like "It is a testament to the violence of men, the undiluted disgust and hatred with which they view us," you are wrong, not all men view women that way. Not all men are violent, not all men are rapists.

Just try and keep that in mind.

Again I am very sorry that you were raped. I am exceedingly happy that you have taken the fight to those rapists who are still out there.
