I Felt Fire I Felt Cold - Like The Devil & The Lord Wanted My Soul

[redbrunja]

These last two days have given me emotional whip-lash. I feel like I need a nice long crying jag to feel okay again.

Some links from my flist and surfing the web:

Obama's speech in Cairo

Describing characters of color

Except from 'Men On Rape' (warning: there is an interview with a man at the end of this that is incredibly triggering.)

Also, I want to point out, because I don't think that this statistic is not talked about as often as it should be, 60 percent of women who fight back against attempted rapists are successful.

Also, flist? *hugs*

Actually, I think you misread what I quoted. 60% of women who fight back get away (and women who fight end up having less psychological trauma over all). That is NOT 60% of the women who men attempt to rape fight and get away.
