Girls are literally owned by their rapist fathers. Families exist in order for men to be served by females — domestically, emotionally, and sexually. A lot of us haven’t realized until recently that such sexual service is required of daughters as well as wives, and that the rapists include all male family members as well as fathers. Combining the numbers of reported assaults with the many more unreported ones (especially knowing that many victims of rape by male relatives forget the attack, and others lack information to name it for what it is), we believe over 90% of all girls are victims of family rape. Of the many females we know who were raped as girls, none reported it to the authorities. The majority don’t tell what they know won’t be believed. And they’re also in fear for their lives. Most who did tell their mothers were not protected. Instead, the mothers defended and protected their husbands, sons, and other male relatives, and the attacks continued. The horror of living with rapists, sadists, and their collaborators — usually without the support of one person –means many little girls survive by forgetting the attacks and ultimately forgetting much of our/their own girlhoods. This mental and psychic colonization is even more powerful than males’ ownership of our bodies.

This just goes to show that 87% of all statistics are made up.
"many little girls survive my forgetting the attacks"
In other words, you know full well that your statistic isn't going to be backed up by the actual testimonies of women so you need to make up an out for why so many women are going to say that nothing like that happened to them.
Well I'm glad I'm not a radical lesbian.
Bev-you are so full of shit your eyes are brown & I can smell it on you. My dad is/was a paragon of daddyhood & my "girlhood" was nearly perfect. Clearly you can't say the same. Now go & take your pills.
I couldn't be bothered to read the whole article- seriously, I think it's around 30 pages long- but the comments are quite enlightening about the author's overall opinion of herself. She claims to have 'the equivalent of five PhDs.' So, yeah.
@Tatsu- I'm leaning towards Genuine. She's scary dedicated. Cited sources and everything.
"A lot of us haven’t realized until recently that such sexual service is required of daughters as well as wives, and that the rapists include all male family members as well as fathers."
Surely if 90% of you were raped by male family members, you've been aware of the "problem" for quite some time, yes?
Also, my dad and my 4 brothers wanted me to tell you to fuck off.
I see. She's so extreme because she believes in the separation of Lesbians and gays from normal society.
Despite there's things you know... like they can't breed, that's the basis of SEGREGATION, and there's people who may happen to not realize their actually bisexual yet.
Hurr durr hurr.
Gay man saying she's full of shit.
Ordinary families exist in order to support each other, to raise kids, to take care of the older generation.
In very few families the father/brother/uncle is indeed raping his female family members, but that is the exception, not the norm.
How do you forget a rape? You mean repress, right? 90% is it? We're gonna need extensive citations supporting these figures.
As long as kids receive an adequate sexual education in school, they will learn that this is not accepted behavior, and they might have the courage to speak up, to tell someone at that school. You also have to have a society where women are the owners of their sexuality, where they can admit liking sex with a boyfriend, but hating it with an uncle, without being branded a slut.
Combining the number of reported assaults with the many more unreported ones ...
See, that where your argument begins to get a little shaky.

I believe that is a figure dated back to pre-Internet. After the Internet was Intelligently Designed, that percentage shot up to, for all practical purposes, 100%!
Awesome, more feminazis (yes, I know but in this case, the appellation fits)!
Bev, you are out of your freaking mind. The instance of incest is nowhere near ninety percent even with the most generous estimates and repressed memories are largely accepted to be bunkum by actual psychologists. And your claim to have the "equivalent" of five PhD's is laughable. It takes most people into their late twenties or thirties to get one. I didn't get mine (in psychology) until I was pushing forty. There simply isn't enough time in the human life to accumulate five unless you're a polymath and sweetie, you aren't.
Total, utter bullshit. My father has never raped my sister, nor have I. A completely fabricated statistic.
I personally wouldn't mind if all women identifying as "Radical feminists/lesbians" voluntarily segregated themselves from society, slowly dying out while leaving the sane people in civilisation. Perhaps the MRAs could do the same, maybe in a colony next door.
Probably the most insulting thing about this is because she's supposed to, a degree, to represent gay side. Separatist insanity, sure. But I find this entire thing super insulting as a gay male.
Yeah, cause men are evil and women are pure. Reminds me of the glurge worthy Lady-land utopia bullshit.
"Radical"? More like "Farcical".
Repressed memories? Is this the 80's again? Come on, Bev Jo, catch up with reality.
In fairness, I have to point out she didn't actually claim to have the equivalent of five phd's. It was another lunatic, SheliaG, who said that in the comments. Bev Jo is still fucking crazy though.
I believe your "statistic" is a load of sexist horsecrap.
Yeah, family rape does happen, and yeah a lot of it goes unreported but it's nowhere near that common. And it happens to a lot of boys too, not just girls.
Also, the whole "repressed memories" thing is basically bullshit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
