Aaron, you of all people know that I try and be a lighthearted and mellow man as much as the next guy. But man, since when has it become such a bad thing to see an end to rape, sexual discrimination and homophobia?
It also bothers me that people are taking this as me trying to be PC or as if this is some attention grab. Again you of all people know I’d rather be left alone and let people do what they want as long as it harms nobody.
Three years ago I received a call around noon, it was a nurse who happened to be an old flame of mine. It turned out that my cousin was in the hospital. I cannot express the sickening feeling of anger of looking at my cousin 3 years ago after her being brutally beaten and raped, and the culprit getting away. Her eyes were swollen shut, her beautiful face stitched up like Frankenstein. The fact she felt shamed because it happened to her. She wouldn’t let anybody else see her because of the shame she felt. It happened while she was jogging to try and lose weight to fit in her mothers wedding dress. So yes, this shit cuts deep, and while I know I should not show weakness, this is one area where I don’t mind being vocal.
This is another reason I am all for arming women to prevent this, as well as saying every chance that I can get that rape is wrong. I find it beyond the pale of disgust that our world has become such a vile place that people do not flinch at violence being perpetrated on people, yet when gays want to be married people bring all these fucking bible quotes out and ecumenical grandstanding, that the fact that women are not treated with the respect they deserve when these same humans are our mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, grandmothers, friends, wives, and loves.
I am so grateful I have you as a friend who understands that I am not some violent monster. I mean this from the bottom of my icy lump of coal heart, you are a good man and I cannot thank you enough for being here when I am close to that point of no return.

Some people just need a fucking baseball bat to their shit-filled skulls. You speaking about rape on such a personal level fills me with rage. Fucking untermensch, I swear.
