@HLGEM And as far as rhetorical impact is concerned, when you lead with "my body was violated in extremis" then end with "and some of us don’t get to be in movies", well, it dilutes the force, and more dangerously, invites assholes to dismiss the whole of what you’ve said, what you’ve lived, based on some semantic bullshit.

Remember these asshooles (well-schooled assholes) don’t really stand for anything, so they lurk, waiting for the chance to decontextualize your statements to turn them into treats for their acolytes.
