Did she ask for it?
was her skirt too short?
her top too tight?
too revealing?
did her eyes say yes, while she said no?
was it her fault because she had the nerve to be at that party?
or out alone?
or drinking?
Did she ask for it?
Did it make you feel like a big man?
to take what wasn’t yours?
to use fear and control and body parts as weapons?
Did she ask for it?
Did she want her life forever altered?
or was it You?

Wonderful 👌👌
Thank you so much
A scream into the night sky. If only it reaches the ears of the right one.
One can only hope…
I’m worried about all the people who are now trapped with their abusers.
That is a terrifying thought… we are on lockdown here (as are most states) but i did see in the release from the mayor’s office they included a line at the bottom that said victims of domestic abuse could leave to seek help…
Nothing more terrifying than living with your abuser and feeling the tension build.
Exactly the question.
I wish the time of victim blaming was past but alas…
