Talking Rape in Pakistan – Feministani by Bina Shah

"But the words that ring in my ears the most came from a
tweet directed at me by someone:  Who raped you?


That tweet filled me with such inexplicable fury that I
was rendered speechless. It was like a kick to my solar plexus. Was that the
only way this man could deal with my questions, or my right to answers? In the
entire hour that I tweeted on this subject, I refused to lay the responsibility
for rape anywhere else but at the foot of rapists. So obviously I
must be the victim of rape in order to be this angry."
