If you keep droning on about what I look like, you don't have to think about what I say about this all being a crime, or how I feel about it.
It could be that you even think that you're trying to make me feel better about it having happened to me, when what you're really doing is denying what's happened to me. You're not trying to make me feel better; you're trying to make yourselves feel like a horrible thing hasn't happened to me and you're not doing anything wrong.
What else do I have to say besides NO? If you said NO as many times as I have, would it be because you didn't really mean NO? You think your NO matters about your life and my NO doesn't matter about my life? That has to be what you think, because it's how you treat me.
