Why do
victims of sexual abuse feel so much guilt? Why do we blame ourselves for what happened to us, as if we
had any power to stop or prevent it?
Why do
stupid boys and men call old ladies (who were victims of sexual abuse)
whores? Why do soldiers need so
badly to fuck women?
Who are the
boys/men who have done this, who do this, and when will they apologize? How many women, now perhaps mothers or
grandmothers, are victims of war like this?
Why are we
asked to just generically "support the troops," when we know that
some of them are raping girls? The
people who generically "support the troops," do they know that this
sort of thing is going on? What is
it, precisely, that they support, that they want us to support?
How are
women able to survive such torture, to keep such secrets? Can they forgive, after an apology has
been offered? Is it possible to
forgive if there is no apology?
How can we forgive if our abusers aren't even sorry? Can they ever forgive themselves? Can we forgive ourselves?
How are you
going to see this important documentary, since its screenings are all sold out
at the Victoria Film Festival?
