In reply to the discussion: For those who talk of 'just a split condom': One Assange allegation is rape, in the UK [View all]Londoncalling
(66 posts)It happened to me, somebody I have been with for a year. He forced himself on my while I was asleep, I was not ready, I could not move under him, I was on my stomach. I was indenial about it afterwards but I was suicidal in the weeks afterwards. I never reported it because I knew it was the equivelent of spousal rape, in fact I didn't tell anyone for four years because I didn't believe anyone would take it seriously.
I understand the political issues around Assange but it sickens me to read that what happened isn't rape and is trivial. If this was a priest or Republican these pages would be after them. Assange gets a pass because he is on the right side politically and is seen as a hero. I am not happy for the Ecurdoran embassy to be invaded, my country was top of the world on Sunday now it risks universal condemnation but don't anyone down play what this man did either.
