      I'm no fan of encouraging learned helplessness. However... I survived early childhood rape. I've talked abt it multiple times since reaching age 11, when I finally had vocab & knowledge necessary to properly ID & categorize what had happened. 1/

      Decades later, I still get choked up talking abt it, esp w someone I've not previously disclosed to. There has, for most my 45 yrs, been a lot of stigma attached to sexual victimization. That's probably part of heightened anxiety. There is also the ton of pain PTSD has caused 2/

      Everyone differs as to how we respond/react to stressors. We also have no idea what other traumas she may have experienced that may have compounded the impact. From what knowledge base I have re: developmental & psych impacts of trauma, I found her testimony credible & rsnbl 3/

      Lionel's piece strikes me as lacking in compassion due to her inability to recognize that her own level of psychological resilience may be unusual & remarkable, not representative of norm. She also took a bit much delight in dunking on "mousy" behaviors. My 2 cents, anyway. /4

      I appreciate your response here, very much—it’s the first negative criticism I’ve read of Shriver’s piece that really resonates for me. With regard to your points about mousiness and resilience: 1/

      Mousiness: Mocking a person’s phenotype is always illegitimate. It’s low and backwards and wrong. I read Shriver’s comments re “mousiness” as behavioral (and therefore a choice—as in: the voice was partially an act), but I may well be wrong. 2/

          Resilience: I suspect that Shriver knows that she’s unusual in this regard. I know that I am, too. What worked for me in the piece was, in part, the focus on building and celebrating resilient women. You clearly are one, while also having your real history. Maybe CBF is too. /end

          I think this piece was deeply unkind, which takes away - a lot - from her otherwise good point about allowing resilience. I actively push back against the *expectation* that sexual assault weakens, but I think it's equally unfair to suggest "I managed fine, so should she."

          Also worth pointing out a lot of feminist discourse on this is NOT reveling in CFBs moments of fragility - they're pointing to how this response has become a societal expectation & shouldn't be (imagine if she'd reacted like BK did instead & how delegitimizing that would be).

          I think the descriptions of her at the hearing as frail and mousy are unfair because most people would be nervous to even be on tv for such a widely watched event. Even more so for a controversial and consequential one. And especially to tell a really personal story. 1/

          But I do think its fair to question whether the lifetime of trauma described is a normal response to what happened to her. I worry that we're measuring the accused's guilt by the level of trauma an accuser experiences or portrays, and therefore discouraging healing/resilience. 2/
