Dr.Olsen claims that the Justice system is far to harsh with the sentences it gives to most sex offenders. In his opinion it is far too easy to get on the sex offenders list. He called sexual abuse that doesn't involve penetration playing ''Ditty Bop." He argues that in prehistoric days, when sex wasn't seen a morally wrong or right, sex was taught to youngsters by relatives and older friends. I was the most appalled he also brought up how there are studies that show that if a child isn't penetrated by the abuser then all the emotional damage they have as a part of the abuse will literally disappear.He defended that it is proper to put away sex offenders who commit twice, but that's it. It was bull shit. I hated it.
I was so close to walking out today. I regret not walking out. I think he would have followed me out and apologized. I still needed to make a point. I feel badly for not saying something about how offended I was. How dare he be little what happens to people. How dare he.
Yesterday I heard that one of my darlings is reading her story at Hear Us Roar this year. When I found out that she had been sexually assulted I felt my heart break. I felt literal pain for her soul. I still feel it.
