THEY PUBLISHED MY LETTER TODAY: I was a rape victim 4 sep times by 4 different men
My little letter just was published in our Weds weekly Stevens Point WI City Times paper...I didn't know IF they would print it..too scandalous....the editor likes me...and just in time for the Kangaroo Hearings...my Republican siblings are not gonna like this....too bad....Jody.
I was a rape victim 4 separate times by 4 different men.
Between 1969 and 1971, I was a rape victim 4 separate times by 4 different men. I knew only one of them tangentially as a roadie for a local band. I would have never told anyone, least of all my parents. They would have yelled at ME. I have a photographic memory, but I could not tell you today the address of the house, the color of the room, the name of the guy, what I may or may have not ingested, etc .....
So none of this is off kilter, you tend to block bad events. Rico Suave Trump was nuts when he tweeted Professor Ford's "loving parents should have reported their daughter's assault to the FBI 35 years ago". Thereby, discounting it.
I want nobody's sympathy, trigger schmigger...it is almost 50 years ago. I am only telling you FACTS. You didn't tell the cops, your Mom and Dad, and since Patty Hearst didn't live in our house, we didn't have the FBI's phone number on our fridge. I wrote a letter about it eight years ago for the Journal, the first time I told anyone. The editor said I was brave. No, I was honest. It was time, it was a letter regarding women's rights, and I had something to contribute. Consider this contribution #2.
