The Rape Will ContinueBy Sabine Magnet QuailBellMagazine.com *Editor's Note: May be uncomfortable to those who have faced sexual trauma. I. They will watch me lying naked on a sofa in some apartment in Berlin. Two men taking turns penetrating me. At some point I will say Nein. Hört auf. Stop it. They will not listen. Whatever one will say pushing his dick into my mouth. They will cheer each other on, film each other fucking me, offer the video to TV stations and websites. I’m kind of famous, you know. One million people will watch on Pornhub.com The court will find no evidence of rape. I will be accused of libel and fined twenty-two thousand dollars for making false allegations against two men. II. They will watch me on Twitter, naked and unconscious on the ground in some favela in Rio de Janeiro. I am 16 years old. I will wake up for a minute: one man on top of me, another under me, two other holding me down, on my hands. Boys laughing and talking around me, many people with guns. Six men and a boy will be charged. There will be demonstrations all over the country. I will receive death threats on the Internet. III. They will watch me being gang-raped by four boys from my school in some suburban house near Mumbai. My friend and his friends will repeatedly assault me, record a 12 minute-long video, send it to their friends on Whatsapp. They will threaten to make it viral if I tell anyone. I will say nothing, then my aunt will watch the video. The minors will be charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. My family will feel dishonored for years. IV. They will watch me in parts, pictures of my naked breasts that a man will send to his group-chat while assaulting me unconscious behind some dumpster at Stanford University. Two foreigners will rescue me, I will wake up in an emergency room. I will wonder where the pine needles come from, the pine needles in my hair, in my vagina. I will learn what happened from an article saying I was found unconscious, my hair disheveled, long necklace wrapped around my neck, bra pulled out of my dress, dress pulled off over my shoulders, pulled up above my waist, I was butt naked all the way down to my boots, legs spread apart, had been penetrated by a foreign object by someone I did not recognize. My rapist will only be sentenced to a semester in prison, he will only serve three months. I will only be able to address him in an open letter. V. They will watch me tell my story. They will learn all that it did to me, all that he did to me, They will feel the acquiescence of violence. The rape will continue to be televised. CommentsComments are closed.
