#stopvictimshaming

[thepoetrysoul]

Don't walk alone after dark, don't turn your phone tracker off, don't get inside a cab alone don't if you wanna make it home

You cant wear clothes that provoke you can't just tell a man, no you can't be caught unaware we are all tied together by this common fear

We have all pretended to be on a call so that stranger guy won't bother us at all it's behaviour ingrained, stuck in our brains but it doesn't mean we will be safe

We don't deserve to be harassed on the road this reality is getting old we do everything right but every night we are scared of what the darkness holds

And we are taught all the ways to protect ourselves but it is time that we start teaching man that while "not all men" might be true we are never sure who it doesn't apply to

Something I was always told. That I would never be able to fully heal unless I forgave the people that hurt me. It took me until very recently to realized that it's very much not true. It doesn't help me in the least, and they do not deserve an ounce of my sympathy. They deserve to rot with that feeling for what they did. #stopvictimblaming #stopvictimshaming #noforgiveness #endrapeculture #stopsilencingrapesurvivors https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmw0ECFWHw/?igshid=3od59th7wy2x

Okay So, there's been this Controversial Quezon Province Police Post about telling "gHerlsz" (ughh what is with that tone?!) should be dress in a way, and sparked beef between Raffy Tulfo and Frankie Pangilinan and paved a way for #hija

I've even seen a post where "in other cultures, Women doesn't even wear tops, and everybody seem to pay no mind with it" and I'm like

"well, yeah maybe because it's THEIR culture?"

Looking at it a different perspective, maybe the post stemmed from "Delicadeza" Culture, courtesy of our Spanish Colonization, where back then you will be shunned just by showing an ankle or laughing in a promiscuous way. Though, many rape cases proliferated during that time, because

RAPE DOESN'T SEE OR EVEN CARE ABOUT CLOTHES

Honestly, the Quezon Police wouldn't be on blast if they just encourage modest clothing in a passive manner and not insinuating a mysoginist "Kayo naman mga gHerlsz(ughh again I really hated this tone) wag kayo magsuot ng pagkaikli-ikling damit at pag naman nabastos ay magsusumbong din sa amin..."

Y'all should know better

Stop victim shaming

@healingcomplextraumaptsd - Some people like to make assumptions about why some survivors of abuse choose not to forgive. Assumptions like - the survivor is 'damaged', the survivor is 'refusing to let go', the survivor is 'holding on to anger'. And many more overgeneralised assumptions. Some survivors- like myself- have given years of thought, research, counselling and self reflection about forgiveness and have come to realise it is not a necessity to heal, and not forgiving is not about holding onto anger, is not an act of aggression and is not in fact the survivor's responsibility or burden. This is an intelligent, rational, insightful decision a survivor can choose to make. So, please do not make assumptions and overgeneralise about this issue. And do not attempt to shame the survivor for their choice. ~ Lilly 💜💜💜 . #healingfromcomplextraumaandptsd #abuse #childabuse #CPTSD #ComplexPTSD #complextrauma #PTSD #trauma #healing #growth #wisdom #intelligence #choices #stopvictimshaming https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYTn1OAdrH/?igshid=12epaovnc5h39

Stand Shoulder 2 Shoulder

Because even if I said, “no, get off me” ten different times, he didn’t listen. Because even if I screamed it at him, he balked, and said he would never do anything to hurt me. Because even when I used all my strength to physically push him away, he got mad and asked why I thought he would do anything I wasn’t okay with. Because even when I told him, “I’m not okay with this”, he asked why I didn’t care about him. Because he was my boyfriend. Because he told me no one would ever treat me better. Because he told me he’d never do anything to hurt me. Because he told me he wanted it. Because my friends were his friends. Because I worried what they’d think. Because I didn’t feel I had the authority to label him or what he did. Because I still talk to him. Because I still can’t tell him what he did. Because I can’t tell him that what he can’t remember is wrong. Because he “got help” for the alcohol abuse. Because he said he’d never do what he thinks I’m hinting at, no matter how drunk he was. Because I can still feel his dead weight on me and I just wanted it to go away. Because I couldn’t say what he did. Because I was told in school that testimony was the weakest form of evidence. Because I couldn’t be brave. Because I was scared to face the doubt.

To every rape/sexual assault victim.

You’re not a victim, you survived. I survived!

We’re all survivors of something horrible that happened to us, we are strong and we will keep being strong because that’s What we do, we fight. We keep telling people our stories so they can find the strenght to tell their stories.

I know that its never gonna end but we can get the numbers down.

When i was younger someone did things to me, i know exactly who he is and What he did and he knows too, i Don’t think any person who can do this feels remorse in any way possible. I know every woman in my family has been assaulted in some way and my family is kind of big, for me that shows how many ”victims” there are in the world. Not only women even men. Some days im so disgusted with men because it was a man who did things to me but it does’nt mean i hate men because i Don’t it’s just my brain that tells me that i shouldnt trust anyone because if i know who did things to me and my family the next person can do the exact thing again if im not careful.

And even though i shouldnt feel guilt, i do i Will always feel guilt. I always think that im going to confront him but What if he tells me that it wasnt in that way or Thats not What happened or worse, he admits it? What do i do then? And now i have those sexual urges Thats not fucking normal because What he did made my brain think some things are okay for people to do to me or with me. So i feel guilt for that too because if my brain says i like it, i cant complain about someone assaulting me, right? But i didnt want those things happening to me because now im damaged for the rest of my life but im going to live with it because you Dont give up, you keep fighting and telling your story.

We survived shit that people shame and blame us for, we survived so im gonna keep my head up high and keep fighting.

Rape is nothing new... it has happened in every culture, in every corner of this world since time immemorial. As the meme stated... the fault lies with men who feel that they are entitled to violate women in some lame attempt to show their dominance over women. There is NO justification for rape and it is NEVER a woman's or girl's fault for becoming a rape victim. #stopvictimblaming #stopvictimshaming #holdrapistsaccountable #castraterapists https://www.instagram.com/p/CMeFn2OjFclY_PamM3PCAAEobzTNZsctqhC9us0/?igshid=nrtnghi8ybzf

So many people get upset when someone decides to share THEIR truth about what someone has done to them. Because that person is popular and greatly loved, people don’t allow that person to live in and speak on their truth. You can love someone that hurt someone badly. It’s OKAY!!! What’s NOT okay is to not allow that person the opportunity to process and heal from that hurt because it makes YOU uncomfortable. Imagine how it is for them to have to sit silently in their truth. #NoMore #SilentNoMore #StopVictimShaming #ShowEmpathy #HumanityRocks #LoveYourSisterBrother #AmIMyBrothersKeeper #YesIAm https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpi-hBHidK/?igshid=2cssjh9s3v8g
