2-11 Who is a victim

The stereotype of a victim of sexual assaults are those who either: a) asking for it or b) weak and just don't say no.

Fictional Story:

So I don't get around very well. I need a wheel chair most of the time because of my condition, though sometimes I use leg braces and crutches when I need to go up and down stairs. Oh I'm sorry, I did not introduce myself yet, my name is Taylor and this is my story of when I was sexually assaulted on an overnight organization trip.

I was out with several of the people I went with drinking and having a good time. Some of the other kids from other colleges who were attending the same event joined us. I drank quite a bit, I can't remember how much exactly, but it was at least 7 hard drinks maybe more. My friends were helping me to my floor, because I had to use my crutches to go up the stairs since the damn elevators were down for repair. Once we got to my floor in the stairwell I told them that I was alright and they could go on to their own rooms. This one girl that was drinking with us followed me asking if I would want to join her in her room. I was said I shouldn't due to all I drank and I probably wouldnt be able to make it back, while saying this i slipped a little bit and got caught by the wall.

At this point in time, she was trying to lead me to the upwards stairs as I keep telling her I shouldnt because I wouldnt be able to make it back down. She reassured that if not, I could sleep with her and before I could refuse one more time she picked me up and tossed my cruches aside. I felt so helpless as she carried me up to her room a floor above. I tried to fight back but she was bigger than I. I couldn't get away until she was finished. When I was able to make it off the bed, i crawled so fast to the stairs that I fell all the way down to my cruches. I didnt care about the pain, I just wanted to get away. I picked myself up and used the cruches to get back to my room trying to forget.

When I got back to campus I was trying to get over what happned and put it in my past. I was even joking about it with friends about the night. Common I mean who wouldnt want a girl taking advantage of you right?
