blind rage cures headaches, right?

This post at unfunnybusiness has the relevant details plus links to a number of eloquent posts on rape culture and related issues, and there are many other good posts floating around. seperis links to many of the ones that haven't been added to the unfunnybusiness post.

Therefore, I'm going to keep it short. I've been a de facto rape/sexual harassment counselor a number of times (way too many) by now. I don't claim extensive expertise, nor do I claim much training. I don't want to talk about my friends' experiences, they were worse than mine and they're not mine to share. Therefore, in this post, I briefly discuss my own experience with sexual harassment and what that has to do with the idea of policing the reactions of survivors. Using myself as a text, you know the drill by now. I'm really angry right now, so I'm sorry if it's not completely coherent or cohesive.
