from the days before Blog

Twiggy called me on Thursday and asked me what people do when raped. I was in the middle of selling three MootPoints to a chap from the Ministry of Defense so I told him to take a seat and told her that the usual procedure was to get a medical examination ,file a police entry and take the Morning After Pill asap and could I get back to her as I was busy.
She asked me petulantly if I wasn’t going to enquire as to who had been raped – so I said I was not really that curious,right now.
She said it was she who had been raped , so I said oh that’s terrible, in that case did she want to talk about it...and shall I come and provide moral support etc etc?
Then she giggled and said she was joking so I said in that case could I call her back .

I was a bit worried later on, as to whether this could be slightly true or it may be a “ cry for help” kind of thing but a mutual friend suggested that if it was actually her who had been raped , we should probably find the rapist and offer him psychiatric counseling, see if he is still coherent ,that sort of thing….

For one personally i thought / think rapists should be jacked up the butt and shot twice between the eyes. BUT after studying about these things in psyche I learnt a lot. That there are 3 types of rape. Basically by a known person and unknown etc etc..

As for cries for help. Never avoid them or sound uninterested. sometimes the worst thigs happen in the shortest possible time. Even a decision to keep things inside.

Hope you clear ur mind of any worry :) Sometimes it's good to persue.. cos after all.. sometimes most people have only their friends as talking to family is in our culture something strange lol :)
