Willy? You’re a vile bullying shithead. But thanks for demonstrating the wonders of rape culture, which kind of proves everything this post is about.

Come on girl you know you liked it! If you didn’t why did you just bite his cock when he was deep-throating you? That would have stopped him immediately. I don’t know why you make a big deal about this, I’m sure its going to happen to you plenty of times in the future. You just need to train your gag reflexes on a dildo or banana so that next time you dont vomit.

Thank you, Jo, for being so brave to write all of this down and re-live it as you wrote it. Thank you for going into detail. For showing that just because you had consensual sex the night before doesn’t make it okay to have non-consensual sex the morning after. For being interviewed about it on the radio. For being the strong person that you are.

With forthright honesty like yours changing the world in small ways, someday in the not-so-distant future, this sort of thing will never happen. I’m sorry it happened to you.

Jo – you’re amazing. This blog post is so honest and brave. I’m so sad that this happens and people think that it’s OK. It’s not.

Thanks for telling your story. I feel like I should apologise. I distinctly remember making a comment to you about the Julian Assange case. At the time I’d been reading a lot about it, and at that point I didn’t know what you’d been through. But I remember making a comment and I could see it had affected you. But Assange is Assange and you are you – I wouldn’t dream of comparing your situation to his one. So I’m really sorry for making the comment, especially now knowing how those sorts of comments affected you.

This is some effing brave shit. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m sorry that somebody did that to you. I’m glad you’re getting better.

Hmmm did my comment get caught in spam? Anywho:

Thank you for sharing. For being strong and brave. For letting anyone that needs to know that it is possible to begin to heal and that they’re not alone.

You’re not alone.

So much love to you forever.

Omg that smiley face was supposed to be a nice little *thumbs up we’ll all get by with a little help from our friends* smile, and the emoticon that it unexpectedly turned into looks wayyyyy too creepily enthusiastic! Kindly be assured it means the former not the latter.

You’re an important person, Jo. I’m so sad this happened…and that it happens…and glad, as others have said, that you’re finding ways to heal. I also think this will help others. It helped me

I know I’ve talked about this with you previously but I’m sitting here crying as I read your words. This never should have happened to you – nobody should ever have this happen to them – and thank you for being so brave and speaking out so eloquently. Love you lots beautiful lady. xx
