Comparing rape to abortion...

I've been struggling this and I've decided that I can't let someone's own struggle stop me from expressing myself.

Rape is NOT in ANY FUCKING WAY comparable to abortion, Vexing. I was so disillusioned when I read you actually use Northstar's disgusting argument that I threw up on the floor. I didn't just delete my LJ because I was depressed: I removed you from my F-list first and then said "fuck it". Of all the people in the world, I never, ever would have expected you to be one of them that used the "woman is raping her fetus" argument. I know what you were trying to do but it was nevertheless revolting and it smacked of victim blaming and it made me literally spew chunks.

I've been violated but never by my friends. That was repulsive and I don't fucking care if you have a problem with it. You basically compared me to my own childhood rapist for refusing to bear his evil seed. I never, ever thought I'd see the day that you would say such a thing about rape victims. I deleted my LJ because I didn't want to unload there. I'm still shaking. That was a terrible thing to say, knowing you had friends that were rape survivors watching. How fucking DARE YOU compare me to my assailant?!!!

*edit: and in case you're thinking of pulling the "TS" card again, I am beyond fucking caring now. I don't care how miserable you are with your transition. You chose it and I've always supported you. That NEVER gave you an excuse to go after rape victims. NOT EVER. You do NOT get a free ride to slam rape survivors!

And so did the lunatics on PLA treat you any differently when you made believe you were one of them?

Why does every bloody relationship just have to crumble away this year?

Fuck.

This relationship shouldn't crumble, it was a misunderstanding.

I am not taking sides because I love them both.

But there are no sides to take! Neither one did anything wrong, it was a simple misunderstanding. I hope they realize this and make up.

I'm not saying anything more on the matter except I do still care for Vexing but that's all.

Save it for someone who gives a shit.

Okay, fuck this. At this point, Vexing, YOU are the one carrying this on. If you're over it, if you're over Darkmoon's friendship, BE OVER IT. Bullshit primary-school retorts don't help, they don't "win", and at this point the only one "dragging you back into this" is YOU.
