http://www.causeofdeathwoman.net/I almost cannot comment on the material on this site, because as a rape and domestic violence survivor, I can't find the words. These women speak eloquently for themselves.
And some men want to take us backwards. Shame on them.

I have a personal question for you, about this sad subject.

(47,675 posts)3. Women are just asking for it. They want to be abused or they wouldn't wear seductive clothing.
I'm a guy with a wonderful wife and three daughters. Of course I don't mean what I posted in the subject line, but that's the way too many wingnuts think. Women are equal (if not better) than men and abusing them is unthinkable to me.

(5,762 posts)6. I started to cry when I read the story of the 15-yr-old
Who begged her rapist to marry her.
I cannot imagine the pain that these women live through (and die from).

(47,675 posts)7. Agreed. "Beauty and the Beast" syndrome.
I'm about to publish a story called "The Rape of Kyra Collins" that is along that line (spoiler alert: she doesn't get raped).
