He found me and took me hospital. He begged the medical team to test for date rape drugs but they refused. I was denied the right to understand what exactly had happened to me because I was judged as an irresponsible young woman. And I suspect the reaction would have been no different if I hadn't come through the experience without harm.<br /><br />I've also had to suffer years of hypocritical judgment from male friends who witnessed me being carried out of the building. Their remarks are cruel and infuriating but I have been denied the right of a proper explanation.Kate Treacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595119191804587479noreply@blogger.com
