Den Hoga Baverb: "His reactions, or therelackof, made it interesting."
I was reacting, but it was all internal. It seemed unlike myself, but then again I am a meticulous pre-planner. I can't exactly say that I was prepared for something like that. The lack of outward reactions from people as a whole, myself included, was weird to reflect on after it all. I was a mess, but it seemed to make others freeze up as well because of who it was that did it alongside how strange and sudden it was.
She was a monster, I just had the unluckiest interaction with her. If it had happened to someone else, I would be calling it interesting as well in the same fashion.
Den Hoga Baverb: "The stereotype in me always imagined the male to be the dominator, and here he is: weak, vulnerable, scared, helpless."
Indeed. It's not something people think about too often, the roles being reversed, even if simply from just looking at the parts and making assumptions.
Red's article posted here isn't wrong, and TVTropes has instances of it as well where it seems to comment on the difference in response. Even their top quote:
"Obviously if you're watching a scene with a woman tied to a bed while a man forces sex on her, the final act of thatmovie will involve said man getting shot in the face by Bruce Willis. If, on the other hand, it's a man being tied down and forced into sex by a pretty lady, well, you're watching a wacky romantic comedy."

Thrope: "Were you masochistic before this happened?"
Had been for at least two years. Had even experimented with it in sex prior (found out about it outside of the bedroom before inside). If anything, the whole ordeal made me hate BDSM until I got past it.
Systematic: "Why didn't you utilize your karate skills? Should've round-housed that bitch."
Wasn't really in my right mind after the initial blind-sighting (didn't even feel like myself really). As I mentioned in another topic, I do not like surprises. With the sheer weight and intensity she had, I doubt it'd have made her budge much. After that, I'd have had a rage case to deal with who'd have nothing against turning a knife on her own people that I already know is capable of rape. My rage response is also unstable, so getting angry wouldn't help either.
Plus, as I mentioned, it was like body paralysis, blacking out, and walking through life in a shocked fugue. The first time was shocking enough that the damage took over a year to get over.
Metaerg: "so how did you get back at her?"
Oh yes, the part Red "conveniently" cut from the story. To make a long story short, I kept tabs on her through others, spread the info to every person I could, did art projects to educate others on the topic from listing my own experiences, and behaved beneath my own standards to cause those who trusted me to turn on her through deceptive means, since they were socially battered to the point of locking their doors to not see the creature. I had to cause them to fight with eachother to get any progress at all. I had many violent thoughts, and knew full well I could pick her lock and poison her in her sleep if not strangle her with my knee pressing into her neck, but I understood that society expectations would make me out to be the bad guy.
Her life could not find even one source of comfort in her crazy drug addled state, and I pushed that until she lost herself. Thanks to my efforts, she ended up with nowhere to go, no one to turn to, and even her parents wouldn't help her. She was forced to leave the second place from my causing them to notice she was selling drugs out of their townhouse, something that seemed like an issue only from my insistence. No matter how much I try to build up this person's background, seeing the strange being is the only way to really get how much of a chaotic lashing mess she was.
Another friend of mine who could relate to rape experiences didn't talk to her but kept her on her Facebook contacts. I responded to someone's point about rape, challenging the gender stereotypes as I'd grown used to doing (especially at feminazi types who think only men rape), and it caused her to enter an episode of sorts. She went into a crazy denial rant that showed how far disconnected from reality she had become, and how much that me coming up as a topic disturbed her. The sheer amount of denial and lies that came from it sobered me out of what little shreds of damage were left.
Justice was not an option, nor was violence, so I had to sabotage instead. It was arguably not enough, but it's what I had at my disposal.
Metaerg: "also your friends sound like wussies."
They were human, and I tend to attract crazies or people who in general have issues. They each had their own shit I had to work past to make them even able to really listen. Selfish and scared to the point of blind-spotting even without my shit going on related to her, I had to give them no choice but to deal with their problems first to gain allies.
