My Recent Adventures in the Public Sphere

featuring the Washington Post & Breitbart

Almost a month has passed since my Op-Ed appeared in “Acts of Faith” at the Washington Post. The title chosen by the editors at WaPo was: “Our culture of purity celebrates the Virgin Mary. As a rape victim, that hurts me.”

The article was mocked in an article at Breitbart, written by Thomas Williams. Other conservative media picked up that article and wrote others. There were comments and messages vilifying me.

Two days ago the New York Times published an article about Thomas Williams. Sometimes truth delivers up a surprise twist that fiction cannot replicate.

I’ve written an account of my experience. It’s not polished, just a chronological setting-forth of what happened. I’m not ready to put it out into the public sphere, but am happy to be in touch with my readers. So if you sign up for my newsletter (in the sidebar) I’ll send it to you. I like having an email address, as well as a first and last name. One thing this debacle has taught me is to be a bit leery of anonymous correspondence.

Don’t hesitate to be in touch!
