Vox’s Liz Plank Creates A New Hashtag To Shift The Conversation About Sexual Assault was originally published on Buzzing Lives

I don’t like tagging a blog like this onto what is effectively a way for victims to grieve and gain the confidence to come forward and spread awareness but if I can help even one man avoid falling to anti-feminism I figure that has to do some good. 

Day 16: Women's Rights Movements. Yesterday I read some upsetting comments on the "Me Too" movement that really struck a nerve for me; I read "being a victim is a choice." As a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault I never wanted to speak out because I didn't the attention or being labeled as a "victim." But I'm thankful for movements that give women the courage to speak about it, spread awareness and fight for equal rights in this society. Have you seen the capabilities of the modern woman?! She works a 9-5, takes care of her children, maintains her home, is educated and looks damn good doing it! In life we can choose to fight our battles or choose to "play victim" to our circumstances, yes. But by no means is being raped a choice, by no means is getting grabbed randomly in public a choice, by no means is being cattle-called from across the street a choice. I'm extremely passionate about this movement as I once let a man take all my power away until I felt that I was stripped down to nothing inside. It took years to gain that confidence back to stand strong as the woman I am today. This is NOT just a woman's issue, so thank you to the men that stand up and speak out. And to all my ladies that stand for each other every day, you are my WCW, every day... Me too. . . #90daysofgratitude2017 #gratitude #morningpositivity #issavibe #instagood #90daychallenge #morelife #morelove #womensrights #metoo #himthough #thefutureisfemale #wcw (at San Francisco, California)
