"#SurvivorPrivilege", a brilliant takedown of rape apologists like George F. Will

Absolute genius. Snips:
Over at the Washington Post, a supremely out of touch article by conservative columnist George F. Will makes the infuriating claim that victims of sexual assault enjoy "a coveted status that confers privileges." His logic suggests that because of a supposed liberal plot to bestow some sort of benefit on rape survivors "victims proliferate."
The truth is that most survivors of sexual trauma (60%) do not report what happened to them, due in large part to people like Will contributing to a society that is utterly dismissive of their experiences
Luckily, survivors are not content to let Will's harmful rhetoric go unchecked. Activist Wagatwe Wanjuki began the hashtag #SurvivorPrivilege on Twitter to highlight the actual experiences of survivors of rape and sexual assault. So far, hundreds have used it to make their voices heard.
Go and view the tweets. Fantastic activism!
