As appalling as this is, it's what was predicted if these bans came into force. Horrible that people are losing such basic autonomy.

What I'm shocked by today is the amount of rape happening in America. If these numbers are accurate then that's really alarming

It’s astonishingly common. Every single partner I’ve had outside of my highschool sweetheart had been sexually assaulted in some manner.

It’s very hard to prove and prosecute, so often women have little recourse. I subscribe to the baseball bat style of justice personally.

Every single partner I've had as well, which is only one, but it happened twice on separate occasions (once outside the US though)...
