Cassandra

Cassandra have some sense of the position you find yourself in now- Hecuba Trojan Women

When Apollo cursed Cassandra for rejecting him he spit into her mouth.

His spit would be worth more than any word that she ever uttered, anything she ever did.

No one would believe anything.

And well we know how Troy went down.

This is inadvertently part 2 or probably 8 about sex and WOC

Because what else I remembered when reading this was

The Duke woman : a veteran.

And it's not a woman's issue .

Well at least the wife doesn't think it is.

Why is it that national attention cases involving Women of Color never mention the fact that as women of color we are more likely to be raped.

PERIOD .

FULL STOP.

All women are subjected to this IT"S BLAMING THE VICTIM IT'S CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not .

It's the military.

And she's enlisted.

She enlisted when she was 19 years old.

She wanted to do better so she signed up to essentially get shot at , because when no one pays attention to your poverty or lack of opportunities, or educates you fully on what it means to be in the service.

Or your willing to do it anyway.

This is what thousands of poor women and women of color are willing to do to be better.

And say whatever you want about officer training I have yet YET to see the military itself go after an OFFICER for retaliation .

But enlists the poor ones, the bulk of whom are colored are fair game.

It never matters that before they served their country, once they are there

Promiscuous

Consensual

SHE WAS DRUNK ( if she can't say YES YES YES PLEASE YES IT'S NOT CONSENSUAL)
And it's okay cause we're always that underneath.

And when we get shafted on services, or frightened and fearful

we''re always first to go.

And let us be trying to strive for better

It will be used against you in a court of law.

BEcause his spit is worth more than any word you'll ever utter.
