Christine, congratulations. You are currently a writer on the Huffington Post. Do you have an article right now on the Huffington Post? It's true. I have been made a contributing writer for the Huffington Post. What is the name of this article? I think it's contributing blogger. I can't even say it. The point is now I can submit things to the Huffington Post, and perhaps they'll be published, and perhaps they won't. But I do have one now. Yes, said, you can read. You can read right now. It's called, let's talk about rape. How clear is that? Let's talk about rape, rape, rape. Okay, I'm sorry. You said, let's be serious this time. And I go into a musical number.

But, yes. It could be. It could be right. It is a serious, right. Like people, and I believe the point of your article is that people, it's one of these things people don't want to talk about it. Yeah. And that makes it so much worse.

It's like child molestation.

It's like,

I think some things are just so horrible to contemplate that other people will do them,

that people don't want to think about that it's possible. People will do them. Right. So they don't even want to talk about it. And also, I think for a lot of women, it's just something you question in your mind. Is that what happened? Did that happen? Did I let that happen? Why did I let that happen? How did I let that happen? I should have screamed. There's just so many scenarios and nobody talks about it. And if we just put it out there and just talk, not just women to women, but everybody. Women to man, man to woman. Everybody should just be an open conversation. It's like if I take your money, Honest, I just committed a crime. Okay, you had money and I took it from you. Yeah. Okay. Now, if I have, if you violate my body and I say no, that's a crime. Right. So it's too, it's the same thing. Right. That's the whole thing where it's like, oh, well, she was asked before, she was wearing a skirt. and it's like, and people do the same thing. Let's, let's say that I wore like a, you know, $600 Rolex and a really expensive suit. And I walk through the worst neighborhood. Yes, yes, you would, because you enjoy watches. But I, you know, and I walk through the worst neighborhood in L.A. at midnight and I get robbed. somebody's going to say, well, you know, and I walk through the worst neighborhood in L.A. at midnight and I get, I get robbed.

somebody's going to say, well, you know, you shouldn't have done that.

It's like the fact that I'm, you know, it's not my fault.

You still don't have the right to steal.

Like if I leave something in my car that's visible, and, you know, then they break the window and they steal to say, well, you shouldn't have left to be visible.

It's like, you still don't have the

right to steal it. Right. Just because you saw it. My personal... You can't invade somebody's space like

that. Right. And it's like my personal peave, which makes it sound very small, is the imposition

of anyone's will onto someone else. Yes. I hate that. And rape is the most extreme version of that, but there's a million versions of it. That's exactly what I'm talking about, Honest. That's exactly what I'm talking about. So hopefully with this article, more women, more people, everyone will start talking about rape, and I'm really excited to now be

a contributor to the Huffington Post.

So folks, head on over to the Huffington Post and search Christine Blackburn.

You'll find my article.

Let's talk about rape.
