Is there a circle for female survivors to disscuss abuse we have faced?
I apologize for my ignorance on this point, but I was wondering if there was a space on here for women to discuss our experience of being victimized by men. I understand if these are not discussions to be hosted on this platform, but I was curious if there was any space on here that is dedicated to that particular topic. Thank you.
That might be a good idea so people can decide to block that whole circle if it's too much for them. I tend to use spoiler text for stuff that could be triggering too.
Discussing painful experiences can retraumatize people and has to be managed carefully. Perhaps it is best managed by people who are educated in such, instead of being vulnerable on an online public forum such as this.
That being said, I've reached the point where I need to change my personal narrative away from victimhood and discussing it with others may help.
Germaine Greers view on rape has provided me with some food for thought.

Sexual assault doesn't change a woman, we can channel the emotion to achieve better outcomes.
I think having a space like that would be a great idea.
