How many sexual assault/rape/trafficking survivors were triggered by

[niyad]

brittwit's so casually, without any warning, tossing out Ms. Romero's story? This is what I keep thinking about. Even if there was only one survivor who heard that, unprepared, and is now having a difficult time, I hope that katie, and everyone involved (including every single person defending her, or allowing her to lie about it),, receives everything they deserve. SMIB.

1. I'm a sexual assault survivor.

Everything that party does angers, sickens, frightens and triggers me. They HATE women and are out to get us!! Britt is nothing but a disgrace.

6. I know that you are, and you were on my mind. And yes to everything

you said.

12. Thanks.

Just knowing that some of my loved ones know he is a RAPIST and will still vote for him anyway...💔

13. Such a punch to the gut to a family member survivor is beyond sickening.

A punch in the gut to every survivor of rape and assault. I do not understand how they live with themselves, or justify it.

14. You and me both.

My sister and brother-in-law's oldest child turns 18 in June, thus enabling him to vote in this election. However, their family is so seeped in Repukelican garbage that I fear my sweet nephew will cast his vote for TSF. Hopefully, between now and then an opportunity will come up where he will be open to listening to me. Don't vote a certain way because of your parents or me. Listen to the FACTS, do your research, and vote your conscience.

I REALLY hope my nephew won't vote for TSF...but I don’t trust his parents and their friends, who constantly make fun of President Biden. I even told them they're pro-rape by supporting him.

15. Did they have any sort of response?

[TSExile]

16. Well...

...I was at their house when I said that. I got into a screaming match with my sister and stormed out. We haven't discussed it since and just keep our conversation to general things.

17. I can well understand, and I am so sorry that they are so freaking clueless.

I am so glad not to have family with whom to have such issues. It would not go well.

2. It wouldn't be so offensive

were she able to experience and express genuine compassion or empathy. That vapid Luddite's words are as hollow as her nationalist Christian soul is dark.

5. If she were capable of genuine compassion and empathy, she would not

be a puke, nor would she have done that insane, disgusting, "rebuttal".

3. I got triggered

It was a delayed one.

Felt sickened by her speech once the wtf wore off but I just thought another little trad wife being told what to do by a bunch of abusive men.Then I switched the channel and surfed on DU awhile.

Later that night when making caffeine to help me sleep I dropped a bag of coffee beans and panicked like I was in deep shit for those beans flying on the counter . Felt in danger if I didn’t clean it up right now screaming that I was clumsy ,stupid etc.at myself.

It took me awhile to realize she triggered me that bad .All kinds of dark emotions. My mom put up with so much cruelty out of my father and so did I.I panic when I knock over or drop things especially stuff that is messy.The trad wife thing terrifies me. It’s a terrible situation especially if the male in the picture thinks he’s entitled.

4. I know that no words can help, and I am so terribly sorry if my post has

exacerbated what you experienced in any way. What you described was exactly what I was worried/angry/infuriated about.

Is there anything I can do to help?

7. Dupe

8. I'm okay. When I thought it out

When I realized where the trigger was.


Truth is men that want traditional wives know about triggers threats and exploit them to control and hurt women and force them to be dependent on abusive men like themselves. Young women get filled with ideas of romance the prince type shit. Powerless dependent women with kids no money and nowhere to go are forced to stay in horrible homes and the gaslighting destroys their mental health to the point they think they can’t tell him no ,leave or can’t be who they are or free.In the 50’s the idolized times these fucking men point to women drugged themselves to numb themselves.

Men who want traditional wives really want sex toys, mommies,brood mares and maids and a punching bag to take their toxic shit.They could care less about the life of their wives. Trad wives are about serving men’s wants at the expense of her own. And Christianity reinforces this lie.

They aren’t interested in love, sharing the burdens or an equal relationship.
The romance dies after he owns her.

That is what the republican rebuttal was about about abuse and control of women and men that saw that..

It’s all about abuse and getting away with it after you remove the romantic notions about family.

It will be a good thing when nuclear families exist no more.Because a village is better equipped to keep you safe even from your parents.

[niyad]

10. You expressed this all so perfectly that my heart hurts for you, and all

who have suffered under the patriarchal/"christian" views of families and relationships. You are quite correct about the nuclear family structure. Private prisons, we have called them.

Huggggggs, and here if you have need.

9. My sexual assault was so long ago

(40+years) That I rarely get triggered anymore. I reached a point where I'd been triggered so much that some part of me went numb over it, so that I could get through life without shattering all the time.

But I understand how hearing things like Ms Jacinto's account will trigger other survivors. I was among them for a long time, and I haven't forgotten what it was like for the reminders to live so close to the surface.

11. I am so very sorry for what you have gone through. Our society fails us in so

many areas, at so many levels, it is a wonder any of us can function.
