Today, we had my grandmother with dementia round for tea. She looked me up and down and said, very matter-of-factly, "Well, with a figure like that, no one will rape you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML
Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML
Today, my grandmother saw me for the first time in years. "Not all your clothes have to be as tight as condoms, you tramp," is probably the nicest greeting she's ever given me. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my grandma. A young, ripped gentleman suddenly walked through the door and my grandma looked at him and shouted, "Look! Eye candy!" as loud as she could. He heard it and was extremely embarrassed. To make it worse, my grandma is a widow, so she might have actually meant it. FML
Today, I was eating lunch when my grandmother came over and started watching me. Suddenly she said, "I see you're getting breasts". I'm a guy. FML
Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML
Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML
Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML
Today, we had a group of friends over, as well as my grandma. She started talking about me when I was a kid, when I suddenly heard her saying, "Well, yeah, she wasn’t a beautiful child, not at all, she looked.… OK." FML
Today, I went to the gym with my grandma. In the span of an hour, she was hit on more than I ever have been in my life. FML

Unfortunately, that's not necessarily true because most rapists are after a feeling of power, not a gratifying sexual experience. But I suppose if Grandma is going to insult you at least she tried to put a positive spin on it!

So you look strong and powerful and all the rapists are like 'oh shit I don't fancy my chances against her'? I'm sorry about your grandma, it's so horrible to see a loved one loose their grip on reality like that.

Honestly, Grandmothers and mothers sometimes have the weirdest perceptions - I mean I know a few people whose Grandmothers/mothers have told them they are fat for example and they really aren't - they are fine. Please try not to take it personally.

Look on the bright side at least you won't be raped. I bet you look very attractive, OP. The only one your looks should matter to are you and your spouse.

It really is bullshit that sexual violence correlates with conventional attractiveness. Am ugly, have been raped before. It's more about who's vulnerable. Terrible people do what they can get away with.

#30. I'm 5' 11", 250 pound black guy, I can throw 350 pounds 14' 9.5". I TAUGHT Krav Maga*, kick boxing+, Thai boxing! and basic Judo:. ( for 4*,6+,4!,5: years) I've been a victim. that chick knew that shit about me. she'd seen me hospitalize people in a matter of seconds. all it takes is some persuasion and some pills. vulnerability really aint got shit to do with it. you might think you're ugly but you were clearly attractive to someone.

#46, you might not be vulnerable in general, but you were vulnerable when it happened. That's the thing about rapists: they never want a fight because they're cowards at heart. Even tiny women are usually incapacitated when they're raped.

And I'm very sorry that happened to both of you. I can't imagine what that must be like.
