FAQ

Like the new header pic? We're trying to update here as much as possible. The new one is world class drummer Steve Gadd. Name a hit  and he's probably played on it.

For new readers here, thanks for the support. Now, some answers to frequently asked questions:

How many people in the States have some form of PTSD?- Roughly ten percent.

How many rape survivors are there and how do the numbers break down?- For little kids, two out of eight girls and one out of six boys are raped. For others, the percentage is still slightly higher women versus men. However, men survivors do exist. No one wants to admit that. But they're there.

Why do most people say "sexual abuse" and not rape?- One reason is legalese. Another reason is that the MSM thinks that it's somehow less shocking or upsetting. "Rape" is such a disturbing, scary word. We can't have that (especially at dinnertime). Much better to say sexual assault.

Now, tell that to a rape survivor. Not saying rape (in our opinion) is frankly insulting. If a woman got raped, would you somehow try to demean her in some way? It's not "rape". There's "rape" and then there's "rape rape". And other idiotic crap.

Does anyone not understand then why so many people (emphasis on people) who are raped don't come forward? Would YOU come forward and put up with this shit?

What do you do if others don't believe you or don't seem to care?- It's scary and sad when that happens. What we've found is that you're not responsible for them. They have to deal with the consequences of what they say and do. Not you or anyone else. What else can you do but protect yourself?

More soon.
