It's whatever. If people feel like they want to speak about their sexual assault, then they can do so. The only people that are really against it are men that sympathise with the (typically male) perpetrator, which isn't exactly surprising. But I've noticed that it has created a whole "believe the victim/automatically assume the person accused is at fault" thing without any evidence. Kind of sucks. But an accusation of any crime can damage someone's reputation, so that isn't surprising either.

Personally, I wouldn't share a story of sexual assault with anyone but the police. It isn't anyone's business but my own at that point. And I don't feel like I need to let everyone know about it through a huge public thing. But, you know, that's just because I'm a private person. People will do what they want. Talking about a problem is often better than ignoring the problem.

@SW-User So, you're basically supporting all sides and positions on this topic.

@MarkPaul Nah. Some people are just straight up rubbish. "Why didn't you tell when it first happened?", "Why are you saying all this now?", "Bet you're just doing it to get attention.", that's all garbage to me. And people who think that crap just seem like really shitty people that, for some reason, feel like they need to make judgments on someone that may be a victim.
