I was never sexually assaulted. It didn't happen to me. And for that I am eternally grateful.

But I have something to say about it. It makes me angry. It makes me angry that it could be me. Not because I'm a woman or a college student or because I live in a dorm. But because I am a person and sexual assault happens lots of people.

This isn't something gray. There's no moral relativism here. There aren't many sides of the story, someone else's shoes to try on, or another point of view. Rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, interpersonal violence. Whatever name you want to give to its wrong. And it needs to stop now.

No means no. Women deserve respect. Sex shouldn't be used as a weapon.

But if it was or is. And no didn't mean no and you didn't get respect and you are the survivor of a sexual assault, tell someone. Because the next biggest problem to the prevalence of sexual violence is the silence.
