So I got into a discussion about a woman's fear of rape... am I the only young female who feels like some of her daily decisions are determined by her vulnerability in that capacity? That it is a daily consideration/fear, even if not always at the forefront of my mind?
Since I broke up with Alex, all of my nightmares have been about rape. I am usually having a good time wherever the dream's setting is, and then all the sudden the tables turn on me. I have either done something I was not aware was taboo or the group I am with has suddenly realized that I am too different from them to be welcome. It is usually a group of men who threatens me and they are always of a minority race. Occasionally, it is only one man threatening me, in which case a chase scene usually ensues.
My mom said that she had a year in high school where she had nightmares with the recurring theme of rape. She was date raped though -I am not sure when, what year, if it was before or after these nightmares.
