Elise has been working with me

to keep my temper in check, and be the better person (taking the higher road)... and I do, until I get home and start writing about it. Then all my anger channels itself out via my fingers and somewhere to type it.

My coworker has told me that I have an amazing ability to be nice to people's faces, even when they're clearly pissing me off.

But it's true, as soon as I turn my back and walk away, my expression changes and I'm out for blood.

I have no idea what's going on, because things I should be angry about aren't pissing me off, but things I shouldn't be pissed off about, I am. I'm all fucked up.

i just need to talk to someone who's really close to me and who understands me and who won't judge.

Talked to Lise about some things that were said to me while I was away...

and I'm sad because she helped me see the truth.

Because we live in a patriarchal rape culture. Because people always blame the victim.

TRUTH. I guess I hadn't thought about this. I think that this goes unnoticed so often that we report/talk/think this way, but don't really stop to ask ourselves what we're REALLY saying.

setmyworldalight replied to your post: Don't get me wrong, I'm not sympathizing with the rapists at all.

Once again, NO, CNN WAS NOT. In every news report CNN put out about the convictions, they never mentioned the victim. They mentioned how the futures of the RAPISTS were ruined. They were trying to paint this victim as a liar.

I'm confused, because there's clear evidence, videos and pictures of this happening... there's no way this girl is a liar. I'm confused about how such a reputable news source could try to pull this shit.
