Having worked in rape crisis, I do have empathy for people who try to deform their bodies with food after rape or sexual assault. It's exceedingly common, and it makes sense; the easiest way a woman knows to make herself unattractive is to get fat, and a lot of people who are raped mistakenly think that something about their body, appearance, personality, etc. brought rape upon them. I get it. I totally do. I have more empathy than most here!  Fat sympathy. @HomerSimpson @Duress56 And on the topic of rape trauma... if you get raped, you have all the resources of the fucking world at your disposal. Report it, and people will break their fucking backs to help you recover emotionally. If you CHOOSE to not take advantage of all that, then I have fuck-all to give about your feelz or coping mechanisms. Rape doesn't make you fat. Being weak-minded does.
