I am talking to the owner of a towing business. He says, “Oh, the phone companies are just raping me…”
I am a survivor of rape and sexual assault. I email him later to ask him to consider changing his language - that using a term of violence so casually contributes to a climate of seeing rape as “no big deal.” He said he’s not politically correct and that I should learn self-defense. He tells me to “Grow up, kiddo.” Then he complains that I didn’t consider his feelings when I told him what had happened to me.
What the hell?? Why would someone even go throwing around words like that that may be sensitive to the people around...
