So when you get home, you don't accept a goodnight kiss - you initiate it. At a certain point, however, you push him away. But he didn't seem to really pay attention to what you were saying. You stop, he doesn't. And when he leaves, you're alone in your apartment, and you don't know what just happened, and you don't know if you could tell your roommate, and you don't know if the police or your parents or even your friends would believe you if they knew you kissed him first.
Rape is the most prevalent, yet unrecognized crime.
According to the FBI, one out of every three women over the age of 14 will be raped at least once in her lifetime. One in four girls and one in seven boys will be sexually assaulted before the age of 18. These estimates seem tragically high, maybe higher than what you might expect among the people you know. Rape survivors are not identifiable by age, gender, ethnicity, ability or sexual orientation. Rape goes unreported because most rape survivors know their rapist and may be afraid to report it, and because of the difficult and humiliating legal process that reflects society's misperception of rape.
