Is texting easier for you because you don’t have to hear me cry?

four years ago I wouldn’t be enough for you I would have told them to fuck off.
If they told me now, I’d believe it without a doubt.
What did I do wrong, what else can I apologize for that I haven’t already?

Society has allowed rapists to define what resistance is: screaming, crying, scratching, pushing, kicking, biting, punching. I didn’t resist like that. My resistance was to wriggle a bit, turn my head away when he tried to kiss me, try to stop his hand going into my bra and knickers, push him ineffectually, talk about wanting to get my cab; all things which normal men recognise as not being enthusiastic participation when they are engaging with women but pretend it’s a grey area when they talk about rape. Rapists have managed to get society to believe, that what I did, was consent.
Because I didn’t resist in the way rapists - and society - say that women should resist, they define our non-participation as consent.

But somene, please answer me - why not say “no”?
