Excellent piece of writing. Don't question your subjective
experiences too intensely. They are what they are and you feel what you feel. Also remember that "past" is a relative term. Other lifetimes don't necessarily occur in linear time.
The problem with killing one's rapist is that patriarchy punishes women who fight back much more severely than they ever punish a rapist. I think eventually the conviction was set aside, but there was a woman in Florida who was sentenced to 20 years for firing a warning shot. She didn't hit anybody, she just wanted to scare the guy so he'd leave her alone.
You should look up the Gulabi Gang Chandra and I were talking about earlier. I agree, though, it should be legal to kill or maim your rapist since the law is unlikely to do anything about it. Too many judges used to be frat rat rapists when they were in school.
Brilliant, healing piece for someone like me to read. Please keep them coming. 🙏
I'm glad you liked it! I suspected you would.

Thank you very much for your encouragement and wisdom.
If feminism was only about doing good things for women, then everyone should be a feminist.
Unfortunately the political movement that calls itself feminism is much more harmful, than helpful, to women.
I'm not sure there really is much of such a movement anymore.
