Girl Explains Rape In 11 Tweets, And Everyone Must Read Them

ADVERTISEMENT

It may be the year 2017, but some people still have a hard time understanding rape, and constantly look for ways to blame the victim. A North London girl took to Twitter to say it a little louder for the people in the back, and her visceral explanation of the heinous act struck a chord.

The user, who goes by the screen name @_clvrarose on Twitter and the pen name The Rose on her personal blog, posted her victorious thread on March 29th. With undeniable clarity, she broke down a side of rape that is too often ignored, and one that is disturbingly used as a defense for rapists in some cases. The entire thread earned over 6.9 thousand retweets and over 7 thousand likes, and created a wave of mutual understanding and support.

The Rose spoke the truth, and she was heard. Read her full PSA below, and remember that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault. Seek legal help if you’ve been affected, or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

I thought the tickling example was very good for comparing with. Always good to view something from another angle.

I agree with the text but... I believe most women don't get orgasms so easily and just from an intercourse. I was fighting for my life and thinking if they would kill me after they were done. An orgasm wasn't even close. But thank you for sharing this. People need to understand.

The tickling comparison is brilliant. It's sad to think that it still needs to be explained...
