I need feminism because he didn’t ask, and when I was too ashamed and manipulated to verbally say no. I need feminism because the man I love implied it was my fault until he wintnessed a sexual assault first hand. I need feminism because a friend , who never experienced sexual assault personally, told me I should’ve said no, as if my physical resistance was consent. I need feminism because I should not have to justify my feeling. I am not to blame! It was four years ago. I just want it gone. To a sexual assault victim, feminists are supportive of my story and recovery.
