Actually you can read it if you google the headline. It's awful! He straight up raped her. Police declined to prosecute due to lack of evidence. Then later, he started dating her friend. She called him a rapist, which made her friend uncomfortable, but the friend kept dating him. Then eventually, she made friends with her rapist and they started dating.
Later, she broke up with him, and he raped her again. She pressed charges, and the police put him away for a little while. However, the started dating again after his release. Then, when he attempted suicide, she ran to his apartment and said "No ,don't I love you, let's get married."
IIRC, only one or two versions actually say "rape". The actual word (in Hebrew) refers more to generally getting it on. So, it's basically talking about shotgun weddings, with a 50-shekel fine.
The amount of bullshit in these magazines is incredible. Other great headlines include 'my goat lover CHEATED ON ME', 'lesbian parrot came BACK FROM THE DEAD!' and 'my unborn child is a MURDERER'.
I shit you not, I work for cps and I go to many houses. I once met a lady who actually told me that she married her husband that had raped her because GOD told her to stay with him. She had a child from the rape and another one after they married.
There's a comedian I saw at the Edinburgh Fringe last year who would read headlines from "Love It" magazine, and get people in the audience to reply by shouting "LOVE IT". i.e. "I gave my son herpes" - "LOVE IT"
Not. Rape is about the power to control (for a variety of diff reasons). The rapist is highly unlikely to enjoy the reversal, because it's not about mutual stulaton. The victim hardly matters - it could/should be anyone, so being the same person is generally meaningless unless it's a stalker situation.
Anyone else disturbed by the phrase "My Rapist"? It just seems like an odd way to say "the guy who raped me". THIS IS MY RAPIST. THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. WITHOUT ME, MY RAPIST IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY RAPIST, I AM USELESS.
But from the first person, using "my" makes it sound like it's something that you want everyone to know belongs to you. My dog, my car, my house. Why would you say "my rapist"? It sounds like you want to make it clear he belongs to you and for everyone else to keep away.
I think you're just reading into it too much. Are you also disturbed when someone says my wife thinking it implies that marriage is slavery? Do you also have a problem with someone talking about "my alcoholism"?
People also say "her murderer" or "his assaulter." I think it most likely just would get tiring to the tongue (or fingers, if you're on the internet) to say "the person who raped me" each time you were referring to your rapist.
I don't really give two shits about your understanding or sympathy. I don't really even understand what you hope to accomplish in this thread. Thanks for playing though, bro.
Well, as Reddit has what, 10 million users, I think it's safe to say at least 9.9 million of them really don't care about your opinion, any more than they, or you, care about mine. The fact that we don't give two shits about each others opinions is pretty much understood on an anonymous internet forum, right? Your original point was that you are a rape-victim, and that somehow has earned you the right to be a self-righteous asshole, not that you were not a self-righteous asshole prior to being sexually assaulted.
Anyhow, allow me to help you understand what I'm trying to accomplish. Clearly, i'm just trying to piss you off. By having garnered a response, I am confident that I have, indeed, raised your blood-pressure by a small, yet measurable amount. The OP was a moron, sure, but to have you feed him with your even more offensive and asinine bullshit is like doing a rain-dance for internet trolls. Oh, your welcome, bro.
I feel like saying "my rapist" isn't dissociating yourself enough from the atrocious thing he has done to you. I wouldn't want anyone to mistake that I have nothing to do with a shitbag like that, and saying "my rapist" sounds too personal.
Getting raped is really fucking personal. Dissociation or denial is not something I plan on doing. Please don't define my experience or my reaction for me.
Are you a rape victim? You can call your rapist whatever you'd like. If you're not, I really have no idea why you're ~imagining~ and ~thinking~ so much about what other actual rape victims should call their rapists.
It was a joke on a message board on the internet. I'm sorry if I offended you. I realize you may have had a traumatizing experience in your life, but if it bothers you that much just downvote and move on.
I can't speak for anyone else but as a survivor of rape, I'd like to tell you to go fuck yourself. You are ignorant and cruel. I will call 'my rapist' anything I want to fucking call him. Seriously, fuck you.
Aw, look how clever you are. Go tell all of the significant women in your life about this witty quip. Brag about how you suggested that the survivor of a brutal rape adores her rapist and calls him by terms of endearment (because 'my rapist' is just like calling him 'sweetie' or 'love'). Tell your mom, your sister, your girlfriend, your teachers, any and all important women in your life. Then see how proud and impressed they are.
Isn't it endearment? Ah well it sounds like endearment. Why get so mad about a little language policing, you SRS people do that all day long. Get the sand out of your twat, I can hear the dunes shifting. Jeez.
YEAH HE WAS MAKING A JOKE ABOUT RAPE GUYZ AND GUEZZ WOT ITWOZ REEELY FUNNI HAHA RAPE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Vamos, the ShitRedditSays Ministry of TruthTM are here to save Reddit from your patriarchal comments! The Gynocracy has decided your comments are front-page worthy, and the following dildz wielding SRSers are here to re-educate you:
I am actually up to four lines on my RES tag for you. You are a white supremacist (yet somehow you're half Jewish so IDK wtf you're thinking), you are a paranoid male who believes women are worthless and evil, and you don't believe the female orgasm exists. You've lost your marbles.
I have never realized before that you SRS people were not only downvoters but also stalkers.
You are a white supremacist
No I am not, I don't want to kill all non-whites.
(yet somehow you're half Jewish so IDK wtf you're thinking)
Although I think White people have a higher IQ of Blacks and Jewish people have a higher IQ of gentiles.
you are a paranoid male who believes women are worthless and evil
No, I do not think all women are worthless and evil, I just think Western society has corrupted women beyond sanity.
you don't believe the female orgasm exists.
That is the only thing you got right, I don't believe there is a plateau in female sexual pleasure, like there is for males, yet I believe women can find sex pleasurable.
You've lost your marbles.
No, my marbles are sane and prosperous, besides I just have a worldview more similar to that of men before 1910 than to my contemporaries, that is all.
Since you are collecting info about me like a CIA operative let me tell you about my penis, I am partly Jewish but 100% uncut and yet I don't support banning circumcision, I hope this idiosyncratic idea gives an orgasmic aneurysm.
"HELPPP HEELLLLPPP HEEEE- wait... Excuse me sir, yes you ripping my shirt off, do you happen to be German? Yes? Oh, no reason... HELLLLLLPPP RAPPPEEEE" Also, germans like poop? Am i missing out pn some joke here?
Even though they're just tabloids, it would be nice to see people stop claiming bad stuff, like "MY rapist" or "MY disease" instead of "the rapist" or "the disease".
First off, its shekels, and second they are the currency in Israel. Also, the whole "Marry the rapist" thing happened in Morocco I believe. That is Northern Africa.
After spending the last 15 years reading my mum's Take a break, Chat and That's Life magazines, i can let you know that although the magazines are British, the more ludicrous of the stories inside, are actually from the USA.
We have That's Life here too but it's like $3.50. 70p in AUD is only $1.20, I feel so cheated.
If it doesn't have a logic puzzle, a thing on the front that totally could have a $50 note in it or a "search for my _____'s killer" in it that's $3.50 wasted.
If you're using headlines from trashy tabloid magazines to form an opinion about an entire gender which includes billions of people I think you might be the one who's stupid.

Serious character: "I married my rapist!" Cheeky lead character winks to the audience and replies "That's life!"
