Okay, let's just say that women can be revictimised, and time and time again. It's a thing. Especially if you're an existing sexual assault survivor.

Source: Me. I was raped as a child, and I've encountered so many Dude Bros who think talking about what they'll force you to do against your consent is "totally flirting". (that's not flirting, it's sexual harassment) And you know, a woman can flirt with a guy.... and then he will turn around and be a pervert and we can say no. That's a thing that's allowed to happen.

But yeah.... as per Woods, I definitely think he's like Trump: he's being framed by all these nutcases for things he either hasn't done, or things he's done in the past but which he's turned away from (because you know you can have been part of a fucked up circle of friends.... then leave that circle of friends and create a new life for yourself where you call out the bad shit!).

Just some thoughts anyway.

It's not that women can't be revictimized, it's that Trump didn't even touch her and she chimed in! So she shows a hatred for Trump by getting in on that feeding frenzy and now, guess what? She was also propositioned in Las Vegas by James Wood, a staunch defender of Trump!

No, I don't think so. And in her "fairy tale narrative" she wrote for MSN, she wasn't assaulted or touched either! She openly admits to flirting with some crew member, but objects when he stares at her because he's probably interested. She flirted because he was cute even though she had a boyfriend. So why not go up to the staring crew member and say, "Look, I'm sorry, but I think you got the wrong impression. I do think you're cute, but I'm seeing someone." If he continues after that point, THEN talk to someone about it!

So, no, she was revictimized. Sorry about what happened to you, but this is not the same situation at all.
