Raped With Words Janet Kuypers 11/15/10 I knew a woman who went on a date with a friend of mine, and after the date he talked about how great she was, he told me how they talked about their future and what they both wanted he described the inside of her place, but after he left messages for her repeatedly, she never called him back again saw this woman weeks later at a Starbuck’s and she said she felt bad she had been avoiding hm but she never wanted to see him again because during their date they never talked about what they wanted he just talked about what he wanted like how she wouldn’t hold a job she’d be taking care of the house the man’s the one that makes the money and he even told her how many of his children she would bear she wouldn’t let him into her home (does that mean he was looking through her window?) and she said that after the date she showered for hours because she felt like she had been raped and you know, hearing her story it made me realize that you can rape someone with words based on portions of the poem “Key To Survival” Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
