Speak up. You don't know how much I want to erase these worlds before admitting out loud that I've been a victim of this, you couldn't possibly understand how much it hurts to remember all the times 'I should have known better'. I've had my 'friends' - both male and female - betraying my trust. I've been told that 'I shouldn't complain' and that 'these things happen'. I've been told that 'it's normal'. I've pretty much have been told that I've been wrong for feeling sick and guilty and angry that I've been abused because 'it's no big deal' and 'I shouldn't make people feel bad when we all had a good time'. Not only male friends, but my female 'friends' as well.

Y traducción al español del post de arriba. Gracias a jlarinda, que es muy amable.

Also,

This year's IBARW will take place between July 27 through August 2.

The completely optional theme is global. I'd particularly love entries on race and racism from a global perspective, on post-colonialism, on the aftereffects of imperialism, on grassroots movements coming out of the Global South, and etc.

Entries in non-English languages are especially appreciated!

IBARW = International Blog Against Racism Week.

My exam is tomorrow.
