It just makes my blood boil. My first ever comment on this website was just a few days ago to declare that I was an angry woman – that is a major reason why. At 12 years old I was sexually abused by an adult male who didn’t see anything wrong with his action, even though I told him my age. I was pilloried by everybody and almost thrown out of school as ‘Lolita’. When I was just 18, I was raped in the car by an older acquaintance, who had invited me out for dinner and thought it was his absolute right to take his dessert afterwards. I didn’t tell or go to the police, as nobody would have believed me against him, a successful business and family man, a pillar of society! That was many decades ago but has overshadowed my life until now. Why have things not changed by now?
