# Me too. I been lied to, abused, cheated on, raped, molested, beaten near death many times and I have been played so if you want to be a part of my life play with your toys not with my heart. I could... write a book that would blow your mind. My closest family does not know my story. There is no game I havent experienced. Those experiences all came from within my family those that claimed they love you, those who should of been my defenders and not my enemy. I never turned to drugs or alcohol to cover or deal with my pain , those are just weapons of destruction. However, none of this determined who I became, they did not break me nor did they define me. Out of those storms arose a strong woman, that became college educated, a driven force, that raised 4 wonderful children and can stand on her own two feet . No one will ever have those opportunities again, I am no longer a young child, frighten,or confussed, I am not dependent on anyone. I do not have to keep your secrets any longer, but most of all I am not ashamed, these are their sins, their weaknesses not mine. I have but one regret, and that is that I did not speak up, as it would of saved a life, but then again those family members of the generation before me kept my "daddys" family secret for generations, they too were victims, and because of their silence I to became a victim. I was told by the elders of my family let it go, let God deal with them. Believe me they will answer to God on judgement day, but that does not let you off the hook for your actions, your silence created more monsters from one generation to the next. It's time to break that cycle of abuse. From a survivor don't let anyone take advantage of you in any way, speak to your children, get to know your children, know the signs of abuse. Don't let your child suffer in silence, don't let them grow up and marry someone else that will continue the abuse. You get but one life, so hold those accountable that try to destroy it and tear you down. # Broken Silence. Mehr anzeigen

I am 71 years old and am so glad to see this movement happening. Finally girls and women of all ages get to speak out and be believed and be comforted in the fact that they are allowed to be heard. I...n my days of Uncles, brothers selling me for candy, Neighbor men who I was babysitting for their children, men I worked with, a teacher in Highschool all of which happened to me. Including 3 different men holding a gun to my head trying to rape me, so called friends taking me to dinner and then out in the country far from town trying to force themselves on me, I didn't dare tell anyone. I had no one to talk to about any of it. If I told my step mom she would have not believed it and accused me of it being my fault. she disowned my sister for telling her the truth about what our uncle her mom's brother was doing to all of us girls. She never spoke to her own daughter again. That is why we kept our mouths shut. What a load off your sholders when you can fianally say the words, get them out of your tortured body and out into the light. Thank you Me Too Movement for making this happen for all those voices who have had to be silent as long as mine has and for any lenght of time. Bless this movement. It's time men pay for what they have done to the young girls, boys and women in their lives. Mehr anzeigen

This is a problem that has been happening for centuries. Finally, in the 21st century, we are globally talking about it, not just arguing, accusing or denying.

I was sexually abused by my father and... my stepfather, for a period of 9-11 years. I don't remember when my father began it, but I was younger than five. Most of those memories are vague half-recollections, except a few horrid, vivid memories. Such as my father laying in bed and myself looking up at his eyes while...well, it was a BJ. Even thinking the words makes me cringe so I won't go into more details. My mother left him (apparently because he hit her) when I was 7 1\2, a new man, Antonio, appearing on the scene like a hero. But, six months later, when I was too sick to go to school and my mom had to work, Antonio offered to take me on his truck route overnight to Atlanta. The abuse began in the hotel that evening, in the bathtub, when he put his mouth on my vagina. I was shocked and scared, thinking this part of my life was over but realizing one hell had been traded for another. It continued over many years and many moves across the country until I was 14, two months away from 15. It continued because I was too scared to tell the truth. He threatened to leave, and my mother and sister depended on him. He claimed to want to marry me, thoughts that terrified me. He claimed he hated my mother but stayed for myself, and my sister but as an afterthought almost. He didn't fool my family. They were always suspicious but we wouldn't talk. Yes, my sister knew. But he stayed away from her after trying (and failing) to keep her "calm", I guess. And I willingly let him use me to spare her. The story is more than this...far more complicated and horrifying. The times he asked me if I wanted him to leave, and thus lose the roof over my mom and sister's heads. His own words, meant to scare me into complicity. And it did. My sister, a virgin, was the one to break the silence and free us. One day I'll write my story, if it isn't shared before then. But it will take a book to cover what Adam and Antonio did to myself, my family, and what men like them do everyday. Mehr anzeigen

Let the Women Speak
copyright@
Diana Benskin ...

For too long we've lived in a bubble of Silence
Not empowered to speak of the violence
Perpetrated against our women and girls
In every country of the world

On the streets of India, Pakistan, and China
Trinidad, America, St Vincent, Africa and Guyana
In the Arab world where previous voices that were audible
Have been stifled or no longer credible
The secrecy that that shrouds sexual suffrage
In every corner of every village
2017 made one thing clearer
There are many untold stories regardless of country or culture





We're fed up
Time's Up
We will no longer work or live
Where we are forced to be submissive
To unwanted touching
Kissing or groping

Whether at work, school or play
We are not objects of prey
We should not be criticized
Or Scrutinized
And made to feel that we've lied
When the women speak
All we seek
Is to be heard
As we tell of the men’s behavior so absurd






Men
We are not a bunch of cackling hens
We are your mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, and girlfriends
We are pure, confident strong
We have suffered this abuse for too long
A generational curse gone wrong
Me too will not be our anthem our song

We're fed up
Time's up
Let the women bold and brave
Take the podium, next generation to save
We will fight
For our right
To be respected
Not to unwanted touching and groping perpetually subjected
A powerful message we the women will send
We demand for this absurd behavior to end

We will no longer subscribe to the taboo of silence
We are giving you notice, to bring an end to all sexual violence
We are not weak
We're fed up
Time's up

"Me Too" is so important. Keep this going! Don't stop! I wrote a book called "The Kennedy Half Dollar" which is about a guy I worked with who was murdered by the Hawaiian Mafia. I could have called th...e book "Me Too" because so much of my story was about the men I encountered throughout my life. I didn't realize how much the harassment, sexual innuendos, & rape, especially, never goes away. After, "Me Too" it hit me that much of my book was letting out that build up of years of disrespect. How I hated it so badly. From 12 years of age, I knew it was wrong, but that was back in the 1970's & no matter who I told, no one seemed to care. I began to believe this was just the way life was & was going to be. So, please, keep voicing your concern & don't accept even the slightest disrespect, because it leaves a scar. Many have said my book is like a self-help & I never understood how they could get that out of a true crime story, but I see it now. They were relating to what happened to me & maybe didn't realize themselves what they were relating to. We are so worth the respect. Don't ever believe you are not. Mehr anzeigen

I was sexually harassed at a job several years ago. The guy got a slap on his wrist and continued with his job while I ended up leaving because I couldn't stand to look at the guy anymore. Not much h...as changed. I now work for the United States Postal Service. Although not sexually harassed women are treated so bad at my office anyway. I started 10 years ago and the guys placed bets thinking I wouldn't make it being a woman and overweight. I was told women should be at home barefoot and pregnant. I have had men call me a deadbeat among other names. Recently I had my boss curse me out and screamed in my face not only has this scared me to death but I am now looking over my shoulder constantly. The verbal attack has now caused me to have panic attacks and I dread going to work. People are like it's no big deal but this man turned into a different person his eyes were hollow and devilish. I did turn him any and labor relations came in and spoke to only the male witnesses couldn't believe it. The manager does have to take anger management classes but I feel like this wasn't take serious enough. It's a shame there are so many women in the postal service and so many men treat us like crap. Sorry for the long post I am just sick and tired of the bullies! Mehr anzeigen

Je lis les témoignages et cela m'attriste. Depuis l'adolescence je subis le harcèlement de la part des hommes, exhibitionnisme de leur part ou remarques vulgaire, insultantes. Il y a maintenant 6 ans ...un homme s'est introduit dans tente lorsque je travaillais en saison dans un restaurant. Mes amis l'ayant pris en flagrant délit il a rétorqué être un amis à moi et qu'il pensait que j'étais là. Après avoir volé mes sous vêtements j'ai porté plainte auprès de la gendarmerie. Ils ont ricanés pensant que j'étais une fille facile qui couchait à droite et à gauche. J'ai du les harceler pour qu'il vérifie la tente voisine de l'homme que je soupconnais. Ils ont rit à chaque détails de sous vêtement que je donnais pour la déposition. Ils les ont bien retrouvé dans la tente de cet homme. Souillés... J'ai affronté le regard de cet homme au tribunal. J'avais 19 ans et lui 45 ans. Cela aurait pu aller beaucoup plus loin. Mais j'en suis aujourd'hui encore traumatisé. Il était récidiviste d'agressions sexuelles et il n'a pris qu'un an. J'ai subi une telle humiliation de la part de son avocat. Aucun soutien sauf de ma maman. Sinon pour les autres ce n'était rien. #metoo en soutien à nous toutes qui subissons au quotidien l'attitude de certains qui nous fragilisent par la suite Mehr anzeigen

Thank you for your strength to have a platform for sexual abuse and harassment for your young women. Me Too was raped by a sibling for ten years of my life and I told everyone close and far as it fell... onto deaf ears. Learning how to deal with the pain on my own without any tool. Family turned their back on the issue. Church turned their back on the issue. I found myself stuck in a rut with a pain I could not comprehend and now I have the courage to write my book about my pain that is very difficult to write. Thank you Tarana Burke for your strength. You are awesome. We need more of your you who empathize with our pain in silence. Now we have a voice to scream and relief ourselves from the heavy pain and agony of the ugliness of shame.

I didn't understand what was happening to me at the time, but later in high school, it hit me. I was being physically and sexually abused by older boys and I never stood up, I didn't know how, because... I watched my mom be in an unhealthy relationship. After being blackmailed, beaten, and almost thrown in jail for something I had no part of, I realized I was following my mother's footsteps. I found the strong women in my life, put my foot down, and propelled forward, but, I'll never get justice because I wasn't brave enough to say #metoo at the moment. It will forever be my biggest regret, but I know now how to stand up for myself. No man will ever disrespect me again without consequences. Mehr anzeigen

Gives me the chills of how I was brought up being left in the care of juvenile delinquents like my sister Theresa,, scary shit. The neighbors knew, even the church knew and police knew. I wonder if th...eir eldest sib ran over the baby twice and got away with it??? Right Kathy... So much abuse I don't know where to start or how I survived being # 11 of 12. You should not have so many kids that you have to have your kids watch them because you are to busy??? My mom and dad were great people, they just did what the church told them they should do.

Although I have always respected women, I had no real concept of sexual tyranny until I became an actual victim. For the first time in my life, I actually felt powerless. Unfortunately, I had little c...hoice but to defend myself against my abuser, who happened to be a mentally ill female who had been brutalized and warehoused at my workplace. I was to be her toy; however, the big shots with criminal dirty business to be hidden at her expense and mine, failed to inform me. Mehr anzeigen

My father sexually abused me from the time I was 3 until I was 17. Not to mention relatives messing with me and a Great Uncle always trying to mess with me. I was also sexually harassed and almost rap...ed by a boss when I had a live-in babysitting job while in college when I was a virgin. If it weren't for my mom and step dad rescuing me he would've raped me eventually. I'm now 52 and though I have been through lots of therapy I'm still numb. People don't realize what abuse does to a person. Mehr anzeigen

I called Arkansas DHS to tell them what they did not know. How my life was changed due to their intervention into my family which resulted in me and my siblings being removed and placed in foster care.... Foster care was my FIRST sexual assault. I then was adopted into a family where again sexual misconduct occurred. I grew up with guilt and fear. My adopted father passed a few months after his advances and misconduct and I spent many years conflicted between the loss of a father and knowing his death saved me from further sexual assaults. I'm 62 now and I have found my voice after nearly 50 years. Mehr anzeigen

I don't know why only women post here. I am a male and I was sexually assualted (and maybe raped). This page is extremely biased towards one gender.

I was underaged at the time (17 years old), and I ...ended up with an older female friend alone in a room at a party. I was not attracted to her at all. She was chubby and had an ugly acne infested face. Far from my likings.

However, she forced herself onto me. I told her several times I cannot do anything and would prefer to stay as friends. She kept pushing and undressed me. She also undressed herself (a sight that has scarred me for life). Long story short, she forced me to have sex with her.

I could feel the rolls of fat and acne pimples pushing against my body, but I just closed my eyes - as I was scared to be rude or offend her (I am a nice guy - this is my weakness).

This disgusting experience has traumatized me ever since. I tried to share it with my friends, but they just laughed at me. Mehr anzeigen

All these voices! Thank you. Thank you from my soul. Keep talking. I think about the silence in my life. The shame. The heart destroying of finding out so little people seem to care. Now I wake up and... I know they do. I can never thank all of you so brave enough to speak out when I tried but failed and just what a difference it has made in my life. But I will spend the rest of my life making sure I'm not only listening but speaking my truth. Thank you! And from my soul to yours - Thank you! Mehr anzeigen

I have been sexually assulted four times in my 28 years of life. At age three a friend of my parents son made me put his penis in my mouth. At the age of 9 or 10 again another friend of my mother’s so...n touched my vagina. At age 17 another one of my mother’s friend offered me alcohol which I pretended to drink because I knew he was a man not to be trusted. When he left I went to bed and awoke with him sitting on my bed touching me. I frightened him when I awoke asking him in a strong tone, “what the fuck are you doing!” He replied by saying, “I’m trying to smoke a cigarette.” I told him to leave which he did. The last time was a few years ago I was over at a friend’s house sleeping on their couch and I awoke to a stranger was raping me. I screamed and cried and kept asking why he did that and what the hell is wrong with you. It was three men in the house at the time one was my “friend”, one was a man I was dating, and the other was the monster who raped me. They all looked at me like I was crazy and started defending him. Like because I was asleep how was he suppose to know I did not want sex I didn’t say no. I was passed out!!! I knew there was me against three and I was shocked to the bone and feared for my safety if I did not let it go. I am here today to thank all the men, women, and children who have been taking a stand and sharing. I am a strong woman with a big presence when I walk into a room and I’m always smiling. I say this to let people who are ignorant know that this can happen to the strong, weak, sick, rich or poor. Sexual predators don’t do background checks and not every predator is registered. I also want to say sorry for not speaking it not only hurt me but it hurt others I could have saved by opening my mouth. #METOO Mehr anzeigen

I think this is a tremendous forum that allows people who have experienced such abuse to finally feel able to come forward and tell their stories. But more so, it is a tremendous forum for those who h...ad previously finally built up the courage to tell their stories only to be accused of telling fanciful stories; been the recipient of retaliation or personal attacks; had their reputation, their morals ,their memories and their character attacked or denigrated; lost their careers; or warned that it would all come to nothing. It all adds up to an insurmountable truth that transcends all efforts to tear it down. Continue to come forward. Mehr anzeigen
