One in four women are raped and those are just the reported cases. And that is just one method of traumatizing someone.

A man tried to rape me back on May 2, 1988; I fought him off but not without some injuries to myself. Police were called; he was hauled off with a black eye and a huge hematoma on his forehead. I had to attend sessions at Grady Hospital.

I have been "inappropriately touched over the years by male family members and fathers of boys I dated in HS. These events seem to add up over the years. Though it made me stronger having survived things like this; I still can inwardly flinch when someone tries to overpower me without my consent.

I encourage all women to take a self-defense class if possible. Though in no way would I ever try to put blame on the victim!!!
