Stop Comparing Rape to Chicken Nuggets: An Unapologetic Feminist Roar

Sunny Friday Gal: Feminism | Digital Marketing | A Bad Attitude

Let's get one thing straight: rape and sexual assault are not comparable to mundane scenarios like a poisoned chicken nugget. It's time to dismantle the ridiculous arguments that trivialize the experiences of survivors.

Rape is Not Like a 10-Pack of Chicken McNuggets

Rape is Like If It Happened to You, Not Your Mom or Sister

Enough with the nonsense about helping men understand rape by comparing it to their female relatives. Newsflash: women are people too! If you want to understand what it's like, imagine it happening to you.

Simple as that!

My Personal Hell: A Work Function Turned Nightmare

Picture this: I'm at a work function, wearing my HMV Canada uniform, just trying to have a good time. But instead, I'm singled out and harassed by a colleague. I reach out for help, but my supposed friends and co-workers brush off my concerns and joke about workplace socialization.

Ignored, Ridiculed, and Violated: The Reality of Rape

As things escalate, my worst nightmare unfolds. I'm cornered, overpowered, and violated by someone I thought I could trust. The aftermath is a blur of tears, endless showers, and relentless self-blame. But make no mistake: the blame lies squarely with my attacker and those who enabled him.

It Feels Like If It Happened to You

So, let me break it down for you: rape feels like someone taking complete control of your body and using it for their own twisted desires. It feels like powerlessness, fear, and betrayal all rolled into one. And if you still don't get it, imagine it happening to you. Because that's the reality for countless survivors every single day.

Rape is Real, Chicken Nuggets have nothing to do with it

In a world where rape culture thrives and survivors are often silenced, it's time to set the record straight. Rape is a horrific crime that shatters lives and leaves lasting scars. So, before you make flippant comparisons or dismiss survivors' experiences, remember this: rape is nothing like chicken nuggets. And it's about time we started treating it with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
