tw for rape, a bit more in depth than I have been generally discussing re: emma sulkowicz

here’s a tip: even those who work with victims of crime regularly may feel as if a victim of sexual assault or rape is lying because the way the victim reacts is different than victims of most crimes; this is because of the trauma and mental defense mechanisms involved. Often, you will hear them do things that “don’t make sense” to people on the outside. It’s common for them to carry on like nothing happened or mentally minimize the trauma in the immediate aftermath and act as if nothing happened, i.e. “no signs of distress.” Steubenville Jane Doe went home and took a shower and only went to the hospital when urged by family members. She was reluctant to name the boys involved, and we all know she was brutally attacked that night, there were pictures. People still called her a liar based on her behavior and she was anonymous.

As a survivor myself I can tell you that processing that you were raped takes time. It’s not even always an immediate realization. Emma Sulkowicz has stated that she made plans to try and talk with the man who assaulted her several times but backed out due to fear; his account even confirmed that after the day of the attack (that he maintains was consensual sex) she would make plans and then they’d fall through. The main thing is, the man who assaulted her seemed to have taken previous discussion of a sex act, anal sex, as consent, when it’s not. Even if sex started out consensually that night, if he began to do something she didn’t want, that’s rape, and she’s absolutely correct in naming it as such.
