I got really disgusted by that rape post.

Here's a little story:

Yes, women can be raped by other women.

my post:

"Yep, sure can. A 5'3" 100 lbs. woman that drank a bit and found herself fondled and penetrated by a 5'10 160 lbs. female soccer player found that out. You can get grabbed and /// then you are supposed to let it go because you drank a beer after you and your coworker and her wife went home, but coworker crashed out.

Her wife, however, wasn't finished with the night."

To put in context, here is my post in the bigger picture of the thread.

I was saying that rape, regardless of who does it stays with you for a long time. It is a crime. It robs you of trust, and of your own body.

he will never be the same. as much of a rape as any other rape.

you betcha.

i and a few other feminists were the first to call out the men cheering the 12 yr old boy that was raped by an adult woman abusing her power. i look at my two boys at 12, and it is disgusting to cheer the boy as gaining something at that age. total abuse.

and ya... a woman abusing and betraying another womans trust. tis rape as much as any other rape. i agree. totally. emphatically.

When you are overpowered by someone much stronger than you and surprisingly, get sexually assaulted, it takes a while when they are your own gender.

It's a shock when we find out that there are members of our gender that are as messed up as a male rapist.

I've done all the self-recriminations, I shouldn't have been drinking, I shouldn't have brought my friend into the house, I shouldn't have agreed to a beer with her wife.

Ultimately, though, I shouldn't have been overpowered by a woman that outweighed me by 60 lbs, had my breasts groped and then ...

You know the rest.
