I know nobody is responsible for your triggers, but I was speaking to male friends about a situation we saw on social media and they start saying how girls should’ve never put themselves in a position for something bad to happen to them. I explain to them that what they’re saying is extremely hurtful and I’m being serious when I say that, and they continue to explain how they believe it’s true.
The thing is , I’ve gotten sexually assaulted. It took me months to stop blaming myself because I drank too much and willingly left with the person who assaulted me. One of them knows this and he was the main one saying how it’s true. Is it out of pocket for me to tell him to be mindful of what he says in a conversation with me because he knows what I’ve been through?
