I grew up in a Catholic environment and naturally, my parents sent me to a Catholic highschool. One time during religion class, the teacher asked us “whose fault is it if a girl is raped by her boyfriend?” Everyone answered that it is the boyfriend’s fault, but the teacher said it was wrong. She explained to us that it is the girl’s fault for letting it happen. 2 years after that, I graduated and got myself a boyfriend. He was nice at first, but later on he became abusive. He won’t let me see my family and friends and he always accuses me of cheating. It escalated to the point that he raped and beaten me. I got out of the relationship eventually, but to this day I still wonder…is it my fault that I’m abused? Is it my fault that I’m raped? I don’t drink, I don’t wear revealing clothes, and I don’t go out when its late. Why is this still happening to me?

  • It was NOT your fault. You had the bad luck to meet and fall for an abusive bastard. You lacked the ability to know when he crossed outer boundaries. This made it possible for him to escalate his behavior. You can learn how to build healthy boundaries. It will take some work and reading and maybe the guidance of a counselor or group. Contact a local rape crisis or survivors organization. They can help and will help. Just reach out!

  • I very much doubt this happened. This reads like progressive sociopolitical porn.
