my ex boyfriend rped me 2 years ago I ended up finding this guy later and we are dating now I didn’t know that they were cousins but there super good friends and I told my current bf everything that happened and he’s still hang out him with no care
this is why no man knows a rapist, they excuse their friends, say they’ve changed or we all got shame in our past, literally anything besides being the protectors they claim to be.

I don’t know what to even say to him like it’s his cousin yeah but why hang out with him willingly after that it makes me think about the past so much that I worked so hard to forget he calls him around me and calls me when there hanging out it’s just horrible

You have to protect yourself, the idea that a man has to protect you is antiquated, patriarchal, and pathetic. Hard to hear but you can’t expect all men to be arbiters of morality and who you date is literally your choice

and it’s proven time and time again that women protect others while men just watch or perpetrate.
anyone who still expects a man to protect them is living in their fantasy books
