*nods to Elenbarathi* Well said & I agree wholeheartedly with you. I, too, am a victim of rape ... among other things. It was inside but does that make it any less real? any less painful? no. Ms Angst probably couldn't grasp how real that is to Me and how much (and how often) I am told (tho never directly) by shrinks & ordinary ppl that it doesnn't count b/c it wasn't an outside raping & beating.
I rarely swear (ppl i know can probably count on one hand the number of times I've made epithets) but here I shall: sosadlygofuckyourself.

I'm sorry you were hurt, inside or out.
