It is widely believed in our society that sexual assault only happens to this idea of the “perfect victim”. There are certain situations and qualifications that must occur for it to be sexual assault. In this episode, I explain what sexual assault truly means, and counter 15 different myths that are commonly believed about the “perfect victim”. Although there are many more myths out there, these were the ones that stood out to my the most from my research and personal experience. I hope this episode makes survivors feel seen and even helps you come to terms with your abuse. I hope this episode opens the eyes of those who aren’t survivors but are trying to learn more so that they can help squash these myths. The idea of the “perfect victim” perpetuates lies and disbelief of victims and often leads to perpetrators being seen as innocent.
