At the young age of twelve, my father told me that if woman covered more skin then they wouldn't get raped. Despite knowing to some extent this wasn't true, I believed him, of course I did, this was all coming from my dad, a person I looked up to. At thirteen, I heard my dad say that an idol of mine was a slit because a man had grabbed her crotch during a live performance and she allowed it, to this I replied, "What about the guy, he was involved as well." My dad simply said, "She was showing under boob, she's a slut." After this I tried very hard to cover myself up in fear that I would be raped or called a slut, even wearing long sleeves in summer. I damaged my own skin thinking that if it was ugly I wouldn't get raped. At thirteen, my mother signed me up for a woman's self-defense class because, "Your social anxiety makes you an easy target." I am thankful for the knowledge I gained in that class now, but back then I was confused. I covered myself, how was I an easy target? Did this make me a slut? I had lived two years of my life thinking that my skin was something to be ashamed of, it was something to hide, all because of a stupid comment from my dad. At TWELVE I was too scared to show my arms in fear that I would get raped. I damaged my own skin in fear. This type of mentality needs to stop, because there could be a little twelve year old damaging their skin in fear.
