yea

I did not expect this this post of mine to attract as many people minimising SA as it did. Bit of a downer, yeah.

    I think you’ve misunderstood my post?

    The ‘true crime brain’ element is that SA and violence are much more likely to be perpetrated by a man you know than a random male stranger.

      great point! the idea that the biggest threats from men are strangers is conservative (often xenophobic) true crime brain shit. i say this as a recovered true crime fan, (its an incredibly awful community of people, and it led to me getting intense panic attacks walking down the street). the much bigger threat comes from your, partner, father, uncle, brother friend, coworker ect. Which is frankly a much more terrifying reality, but its not as popular because its not conservative propaganda.
