https://au.yahoo.com/news/part-of-me-died-schoolgirls-share-horrific-assault-rea..."Two schoolgirls, both sexually assaulted at the age of 14, have opened up about what they describe as Australia's rape culture and why they believe many Australians will never forget Scott Morrison's weak response to the crisis.
The two assault survivors, now in year 12, spoke to The Project's Lisa Wilkinson on Monday night about how their assaults have changed their lives and shared ideas for how to improve the social and political response to the ongoing problem.
"I was drugged up, completely immobilised and raped," Lily-Maud Horton told The Project.
She is now in year 12 but said the rape that happened to her at a party three years ago left her "incredibly unstable."
"Broken. Terrified of men. In any situation where a male that isn't my brother is near me, I'm scanning, assessing, looking for danger," Lily said.
'I didn't realise that a monster could look so kind'
She said a man in his 20's raped her and too frightened to move, she could only "just mentally leave and wait till it's over".
"I didn't realise that a monster could look so kind. It was frightening to not have control of your own body, to have someone on top of you with the most intense eyes you've ever seen and such power, being paralysed in that way is something I wouldn't wish on anyone," she said.
Danielle Villafana says she was also paralysed when she was assaulted.
She says she was 14 and on a crowded public train with a friend she trusted when it happened.
"I was so, so scared. I didn't think there was anything else I could do but freeze and wait it out," Dani told Wilkinson.
Days later the teenager broke down and told a teacher what happened. The teacher phoned the police but Dani said doesn't know what was more traumatic, the assault or the interrogation by police."
A single incident in either case in no way points to any 'rape culture' - in fact, as usual with the exceptions to the rule - they prove that Australia does not have a 'rape culture'. Same applies to Brittany Higgins - her allegation of a single event does not indicate any 'culture of rape'.
This is the kind of hysteria anyone trying to discuss these single individual issues of alleged crime has to deal with... pure emotionalism unsullied by facts.
How is any accused to receive a fair trial under that kind of torrent of hysterical carrying on, all clearly aimed at attaining some 'high ground' in any discussion, from which torrents of lead can be poured down on any 'dissident' and that 'dissident' can be roundly abused into silence? No wonder hysteria was originally viewed as a woman's problem..... look at the thousands never once affected in their lives, who turned out on their big marches to carry on about things they've never experienced, and bringing along their indoctrinated children to throw more mud into the fire with silly old saws from urban myth... this is as good as 'the Czechs are persecuting the Sudeten Germans' ... or the dopey sheilas screaming themselves into insensibility over rock stars....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteria"Hysteria is a pejorative term used colloquially to mean ungovernable emotional excess and can refer to a temporary state of mind or emotion. In the 19th century, hysteria was considered a diagnosable physical illness in females. In the 20th century, it shifted to being considered a mental illness."
