"[TRIGGER WARNING: Rape]The “misogynist idea of the woman who “changes her mind” or “has regrets”” pisses me off quite a lot, mostly because I used to think like that. Then I had a roommate who was sexually assaulted, and over the course of a few weeks the story changed from “Yay sex (even if it was kind of weird and I was kind of drunk)” to “yay sex…? (I was kind of drunk though, and I kind of said I just wanted to sleep…)” to “Fuck that guy and his friends who got me drunk, I didn’t even want to drink that much in the first place and I DAMN WELL said I just wanted to sleep.” The thing that changed my mind about people who change their minds is that she never did change her mind—she just kept applying new words to the same feelings until the right words finally stuck. Nothing actually changed."
