S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

We both got dressed.

S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

My car was still parked blocks away and down a hill.

So he drove me to my car and said something about like, we should go out sometime or we should do that again.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

Something to that effect.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

I just was like, yeah, sure.

S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

Got in my car, drove home.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

to my on-campus apartment and showered, which I guess I'll just put out as a PSA is if you've been sexually assaulted, it's really best to try to preserve that evidence, that DNA, and go to the hospital and get an exam done as soon as possible.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

I was not really educated about those things at the time and obviously in shock and not really processing things.

S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

After I'd come to terms with what had happened to me, I went to the department heads and said, hey, this happened to me.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

Would you be willing to put out something to the other dancers saying, don't work with this guy, he's not safe?

S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy

S25 Ep17: Chapter 4: Weaponizing the Patriarchy
