Have You Been Raped?

No rule is so general which admits not exception -- Robert Burton

1) Rape is good for nothing
2) It's not a good idea to listen to a rapist, wife beater or racist. This is not censorship, it's self defense.
3) You don't have to follow the ten commandments with a rapist (i.e. Dead men don't rape)
4) It's no sin to lie to a rapist
5) Dead men and women don't molest children
6) Friendship is greater then love. Peace is friendship.
7) War is rape; war is the opposite of love
8) It's okay to hate rapists. Everyone hates people that rape their friends.
9) Rapists are NOT people, they do not get equal rights with people
10) Love is not punishment
11) Rape is the exception to the rule: love one another.
12) Only rapists go to hell.
13) Killing rapists is not murder, it's pest control.

If someone is hurting you, at the very least, turn them in to Jesus or Great Spirit. Remember, it's not your fault. You have not sinned. You can and should turn them in to the school faculty, police counselors, and CPS. If you are afraid to turn them in to the police because you don't want to undergo a rape exam, that's alright. You should be able to turn them in to the police even if you don't undergo the rape exam. If you are a child, the only adults you have to listen to are your parents, if they are not abusive. Adults do things that are wrong all the time, don't always know what they are talking about, and sometimes they lie (especially in history books). Please don't blame your mother if your father or her "boyfriend" is hurting you both. Men are bigger and stronger then women. Adults don't always know what to do about violence and often do things wrong trying to protect children.

It's not okay to practice any kind of rape or attempted rape. Rape is a hate crime. It's about power and control and hatred. It's often a form of devil worship, especially if it's child rape.

Attempted rape includes:

forced removal of clothing (except with toddlers who've wet their pants), involuntary bondage or kidnapping, coercion (which includes pressuring someone for sex within a short time period after the person has said no, or defined the relationship as friendship,) telling the person they are going to die, get sick or not get a conviction without submitting to requests for a full physical examination, (Nobody should have to submit to one raper to get conviction of another,)Shoving your tongue down someone else's throat when they don't like it, during a hug or they try to stop you (especially near the first date, or if you have another partner, or if it is a child), Peri care on people over the age of four that can do it themselves -- for example they can't use their hands because of physical disability, forcing pornography on women or children, pointing handguns at women or children, refusing to progress the "bases" one at a time, denying your partner affection, raping someone in front of someone else, domestic violence, forcing drugs on people (especially manufactured street drugs, since none of these have brakes.), refusing to stop during or after a kiss.

Sexual Assault includes

Sexual assault is people grabbing or touching private areas of someone else's body they weren't asked or invited to touch (i.e. breasts, buttocks, genitals) Touching someone there first is an invitation to touch, a kiss is not. Sexual harassment is someone in power over, or having authority over another person using coercion, terrorizing, or bugging someone for sexual contact including voyeuristic contact, after it has been made clear that it is unwelcome by word or deed. (The word "no" does not specifically have to be used, since no is expressed in many ways.) Conspiracy to commit rape (rape is just like murder -- as it says in Moses' book of laws -- Exodus or Numbers I think), although not officially a crime involves intended sexual harrassment, sexual assault, or rape. Its terrifying.

Rape includes:

examinations to determine virginity, genital mutilation, and female pedophiles taking boys to bed under the age of 18. Rape is forcing someone to have "sexual intercourse" via violence or threat of violence such as blocking a door, not letting you use the phone, lying to get you to go miles from home with him without telling you where you are at, chasing you around in order to touch you, or removing his or your clothes, etc. (threat of violence is communicated through word, body language or domestic violence.) Coercion includes saying "you will die of cancer if you don't get this done," giving women any kind of mind altering drugs while conspiring, rape investigations etc. Doctors break these laws all the time, and abortion doctors put women on valium and never warn women before inserting their machine

"Don't hit girls" comes from God/dess or Spirit.

It's never okay to rape or attempt to rape your own children. Moses left that off his list of hate crimes according to the Bible. I know it happens because it happened to several people I know.

"To have and to hold" means hugging and faithfullness. People are not supposed to masturbate on people, without permission, they say they want to hold. There is NO SUCH THING as conjugal rights. People shouldn't threaten each other with violence for displaying affection to others either. Men simply may not do whatever they like to their "rivals" real or imagined. Women are NOT property. This needs to stop. It is not possible, natural or healthy to love only one person. People should still love those that love them, too, perhaps more then their enemies. People should love their aunties, uncles, cousins, children, friends, animals, siblings and the oppressed.

Every person who gets raped feels like the rapist stole their soul. Rapists also often get the benefit of the doubt for being ignorant, uninformed, uneducated or making a mistake. What about the survivors, who may be ignorant, uninformed, uneducated, have learning disabilities, difficulties with the language, speech, vision or hearing, have a lump in their throat, etc. It's not okay to change our words in reports. It's not okay for the police to ignore or disregard rape and attempted rape reports because there was no examination. If a rapist rapes us, he confessed his guilt. Gather the evidence from the rapist. Survivors are supposed to be innocent of perjury until proven guilty.

Women have the right not to interact with men after rape, even men they are committed to. Girls under 18 cannot consent to sex. It is not okay to block teenage girls from seeking justice. There should not be a statute of limitations on child molestation. Children don't always feel safe enough to report rape as a child.

Rape does not cure rapists, and neither does violence. Rapists run around free for a two year minimum between committing the crime and going to jail, if they go to jail. Some victims literally forgive and forget. More power to them. Trauma invokes denial in the best of us, women and girls don't lie any more than boys or men do when they report it. Try turning rapists in for selling drugs to children, dealing drugs, manufacturing crack, cheating on taxes, driving without a license, or driving while intoxicated if you're pretty sure a conviction for rape or domestic violence is impossible. Most of them do these things and worse, and anonymous tips are accepted for most of these things.

People may not make laws determining how rape survivors should interact with creeps, but they do it anyway. I learned this the hard way. Women have the right to investigate men who have harmed their friends to find out if they are planning to murder, or hurt their friends or themselves without getting raped. If you do get raped and you are a "prostitute" or investigating a rapist, it still isn't your fault and you did not invite it. Rapists do not have the right to sue victims for "slander." God Bless America, I love my freedoms and rights, I know they came from God/dess.
