rape education one I sat in on a seminar being held at a university about acquaintance rape when the woman behind the podium asked if there were any other questions, a woman raised her hand she was a pretty woman she asked what a woman could do through the university to prosecute the man she sounded tough she sounded professional and the woman behind the podium asked if this woman was raped and she said yes and the woman behind the podium empathized with her, told her she was raped when she was thirteen told her that she could tell this certain department at the university and they would bring a hearing on him and then the woman behind the podium asked, well, if you don’t mind my asking, when did this happen to you and by the tone of the woman’s voice she was so calm so collected I expected her to say a few years ago and her response was six days ago now, I know the healing process for rape I’ve studied it in books first there’s denial, then anger, fear some of these steps last for years and here was this woman so calm so collected to tough so professional and I just knew that one day all of her defenses would fall and it would all hit her and she would fall apart I felt like her mother she was my baby and I wanted to deliver her from the pain but there was nothing I could do I felt so helpless nothing I could have taught her would prepare her for this Copyright Janet Kuypers.
