TW: Sexual Assault
A friend of mine was sexually assaulted out to dinner with a professor. When she told her story to her adviser, a dear friend of ours, she told him she wore a turtleneck and long pants and described her outfit. He cut her off and told her, “I don’t care if you were wearing a fucking bikini—nobody has the right to touch you.”
I think that was the first time in the whole process of talking to cops and administrators about what happened where someone actually told her it wasn’t her fault.
They make it about the clothes, the situation—“Why did you agree to dinner? Why didn’t you take your own car? Did you lead him on? For once, someone made it about her and her rights. I think this helped her most of all in the process. Everyone needs to respond like this to survivors, in my opinion.
Blood is thicker than water but maple syrup is thicker than blood so technically pancakes are more important than family.

the other day my brother leaned out his bedroom window and yelled “GOD HATES FAGS” to the entire neighbourhood and the upstairs neighbour dropped a slice of cake on his head and yelled back “NO I DON’T”
