#WhyIDidntReport – because he apologised right after. Because I made myself believe him being drunk was an excuse. Because the one person I did tell said I caused it. Because I felt dirty and ashamed. #WeAreTired

Since we all “seem” to be on the same page, let’s remember rape and assault is not only using strong physical force, it is also dropping pills into ppls drinks, sex with someone who is completely drunk and passed out, using your position of professional power to coerce sex…
