as a woman who has been raped I have to say that I am glad I didn't fight. I have the luxury of knowing my attacker well and therefore know that I saved myself much physical harm by my actions. As to the rape itself, yes there are emotional scars, but they are healing as time goes by. I was sexually abused as a child and the rape sort of pales by comparrison... that's just how I feel.
Being a woman has always meant to me being a walking target. Practically any male from the age of 16 to 60 has the strength to over-power "the average woman." I live with this knowledge day by day. I am careful about who I trust and how far. I have to be. The vast majority of men are good people who would not do such an ugly thing as rape. I have good radar, I can usually spot a predator. Some do slip past the radar. I have been disappointed lately to find that one of a small group of men I trusted utterly is wholly unworthy of that trust. I've known him for 15 years, I never saw it coming. He choked and hurt and pinned a good friend of mine to the floor and threatened her with rape and death...
To scream or not to scream? I cannot answer that question until I am there in that situation.
