Hey guys-
I’m back and better than ever, It’s been a minute since I have posted anything I know…. The reason I haven’t posted anything, is why today’s post is happening! Today’s post is about threats! My blog has always been a space where I have shared intimate details about my personal life, some fun posts, and some serious posts about issues such as homelessness. However, it has never been a place where I assumed I would get enough attention to attract hate. If you follow my blog, you know that I shared a post about sexual assault. A singular post about two accounts in which I was assaulted. That blog post caused someone to reach out to me and call me a number of names, berated me until I took the post down, saying not to “make them come make me take the post down themselves.” This person told me I have no right to say I was a victim, and whenever they pass me on campus, to this day, they cough and yell, “bitch!” The name calling in person has happened multiple times, I think four times now. I don’t think it’s something anyone should stand for so naturally, I’m writing about it. Sexual assault is a very hard thing to deal with in the first place and no one should feel “bad” or be “shamed” for sharing their story. For people like me, writing was my way of coping with what had happened. It is not in anyone’s right to bully someone for sharing something that doesn’t even concern them. I am beyond appalled by this person’s behavior and I hope that no one ever has to deal with someone as naive as the person who decided to target me. If this has ever happened to you, I am sorry. If this ever happens to you, (which I really hope it does not), please feel free to reach out to me. No one should deal with something like this alone. XOXO, Em |
