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*

Glad to see you sharing that third article. I've been trying to spread it around.

[Edit] Yeah, I can see how that could be potentially very upsetting. I just really believe that article needs to be shared, for the insight it offers into the subject. That interview disturbed the hell out of me. It also made me, in some unfortunate way, realize what must go through a guy's mind who rapes, or considers rape. Really disturbing as hell, but eye-opening. I felt like I was seeing into another, darker world.

It's really informative, if disturbing as hell.

And it is totally the kind of information that needs to be talked about.
