*nods in agreement with Jodie above* I already sent you a long rambling e-mail about this, so you know how I feel, but it's the fact that this kind of attitude can be extremely silencing is SUCH an important thing to point out. Obviously I also don't believe in an eye for an eye approaches to justice, but I DO believe in a rape survivor's right to a deep anger that won't abate over time. This feeling is completely legitimate and does not call their value as a human being, or even their kindness, into question.
