@JessPected I disagree with the notion that rape strips women of their femininity or motherhood or softness...as if that's all a girl or woman has to lose that matters. Rape takes away so much more than that and it pisses me off that no one else seems to mention that.

@ask_aubry This is the problem with making simple blanket statements. I've heard stories of women who've found out their partner had taken the condom off or lied about having had a vasectomy etc. So often the choice isn't available to women.

@JessPected That's a good point. I get very passionate on the topic of rape and the way it's framed in public as well as how women are seen as more valuable if mothers.

@ask_aubry She needs to see a doctor. Heavy bleeding, extreme pain & long-lasting period symptoms can be a sign of cysts or endometriosis. Also, heavy bleeding can lead to anemia and it can take 10+ years to work it out the cause. The doc will also explain sex ed.

@ask_aubry There's nothing inappropriate about warning her daughter about predators. The talk she had was 100% necessary given that her father's family isn't at all concerned about the child's welfare. She used public info to protect her daughter from a dangerous man.

@ask_aubry The indigenous Australians have the oldest continuous living culture in the world, about 60,000 years old. When I was in school we visited a sacred spot for the local tribe/mob where the women would go to menstruate and give birth. Pretty sure that's not recent toxicity.

@ask_aubry I would hazard a guess that women use "I feel" statements because they're more emotionally aware and empathetic. Also "I feel" statements are less likely to result in a violent response, something women try to avoid.

@ask_aubry I have a big problem with the way it's being framed that she "covered up" the abuse. That implies she did something wrong, what she did was try to survive & minimise the damage of future attacks because there are always more attacks.
