All I’d say is that just as not every drunk bro with a backward hat endorses rape, or not every Catholic is responsible for the Crusades, so not all people who identify as feminists would endorse the horrendous treatment you experienced. Ridiculing religious rape survivors or white women who’ve been raped, or any other rape survivors who just happen to disagree with feminism’s goals, is totally inexcusable. I guess I’d also say that feminism means different things to different people. The thing you replied to some comments above about “if you think women should have equal standing with men, then you’re a feminist,” I think should be taken more as that person’s definition of what “feminism” means to them rather than… I don’t know, like, tricking someone into being a super hard line feminist or something. I think there are a couple examples in the comments above of self-identified feminists responding respectfully to rape survivors who disagree with them. You raise a lot of other objections but I think it’s best in this post just to emphasize that I (and I hope/think a lot of others who have posted here) absolutely agree that mistreatment is super fucked up and inexcusable.

As a rape victim I genuinely don’t care about “underrepresented” women in American advertizing (it’s advertizing for fuck’s sake!), I don’t care about “fat acceptance” or “gender essentialism” or “trans awareness” That is why I am not a fucking feminist and why feminists should fuck off and quit pretending rape victims owe them something. Stupid bitches.

It is NOT appropriate to offer services to victims of violent crime when you have a political agenda. Conservative women and men get raped, racist people get raped, anti-feminists get raped, . I am a rape survivor and I am sick of feminists expecting me to bow down and worship them because they blog about rape and “rape culture”. I am a rape survivor and not a feminist. Stop politicizing violent crime – it’s not a republican vs. democrat issue. Feminists exploit rape victims for CLICKS and to stroke their own egos and not all rape victims think they are heroes. I certainly don’t.

Feminism exploits rape survivors – see, I am a real rape survivor but internet feminists hate me and treat me like shit because I don’t care about their pet causes (like putting prostitution on a pedestal and calling ti “sex work”). I honestly have more respect for the stranger that raped me than I do “feminists” like the writers at Jezebel (who make money off rape by making ad review from clicks that feature the word “rape” on their site). At least he wasn’t bitchy and condescending.

I am a rape survivor, and I reject feminism. “Feminists” don’t speak for me.

Read this, very powerful testimony on this subject!
