“rape rape”
dear whoopi,
you sicken me. you make me sad for women and men alike. you make me sad for humanity as a whole. you make me sad for those who have been brave and strong enough to endure and come to eventually embrace the label of “rape survivor.”
and quite honestly, you horrify me with the following clip…
even though roman polanski pled guilty to having sex with a minor, HE HAD SEX WITH A MINOR… WHICH EQUALS STATUTORY RAPE.
RAPE, WHOOPI…. “RAPE RAPE,” according to you.
as a rape survivor myself, one who has publicly and proudly shared my story of being drugged and raped with the world wide web, i find myself ashamed to say that i was once a fan of your’s… a fan of your sucesses… a fan of you as a woman.
and now, you disgust me.
please tell me what you define “rape rape” as… i’m just curious. indulge me please.
your ignorance regarding the issue of rape sounds as though some forms of rape are worse than others, which makes me wonder a couple of things about you…
1) have you ever been raped?
2) who do you think you are to judge those who have?
3) what criteria must one endure in order to be “raped” and not “rape raped”?
4) must there be weapons involved?
5) in order to be “rape raped” should there be more than one rapist?
6) does a pregnancy need to result from said “rape rape”?
i would LOVE to say more about how disgusted i am with you and how you make me want to wretch in my toilet, knowing that ignorant people like you, ignorant WOMEN like you exist in this world… but i am a better woman than you. i am a stronger woman than you.
and i will NEVER watch “The View” again, so long as your ignorant ass is on it.
september 26th marked my 9 year “suckiversary” since i was RAPED.
not “rape raped,” whoopi….
I WAS RAPED.
i am a survivor. and now, i have survived what i NEVER in my wildest dreams could’ve imagined… judgment and condescension from another woman regarding rape.

*standing ovation*
“Women” like Whoopi (and I use the term loosely) make me ashamed of my gender; however, women like you make me proud to be female.
Love you <3
Rape is rape.
PERIOD.
I didn’t watch the video clip, did any of the other woman SAY anything to her?? I mean, she didn’t put her foot in her mouth, she showed she’s an idiot.
Polanski might have a been a genius (can’t really say that myself) and I don’t think people would’ve argued w/that, but regardless of what he did or didn’t do creatively he’s still a rapist and deserves prosecution & punishment.
I can’t bring myself to watch the View anyway. But, now there’s no way in hell.
Go Girl!
It amazes me that that show is still on television with all the ignorant, idiotic comments that come out of it, almost on a daily basis. I couldn’t believe it when I heard about this today – I am utterly disgusted. Whoopi Goldberg is a disgrace and should be ashamed of herself.
Good for you for standing up for yourself, for all victims of this horrifying crime.

Nic- I am with you totally, hon… why is she protecting the rapist…i do believe that she was a sexyal abuse survivor- i thought i had heard that a long time ago. and yeah- “rape rape” – what the hell kind of turn of phrase is that… and how now- the conversation turns (of course) to “WHERE IS THE MOTHER???” and again momma is blamed instead of holding the perp accountable…. so much more you and i both could say on this subject- hey, nic- why don’t we? what a powerful team we would make!
She obviously has her head up her ass! I say we stand together write the producer and boycott.
Seriously?!? What the hell??? She is an idiot!
Jesus Christ. If you don’t mind I am going to post on this one as well.
First of all, let me say I totally agree with you that what he did was rape. No question in my mind, personally. It disgusts me and it disgusts me that he got away with it for so long and that there’s at least still the possibility that he’ll continue to get away with it.
Having said that, what I THINK and HOPE that Whoopi was trying to point out was that we need to have the facts straight ABOUT WHAT HE PLEAD GUILTY TO. He was CHARGED with statutory rape. He plead guilty to “sex with a minor” which is what Whoopi is referring to as “not RAPE-rape.” He went to jail for 45 days, and (my understanding of the circumstances:) got wind that when they sentenced him it was going to be for a long time FOR STATUTORY RAPE. He was hoping to get off on a minor offense with less time (scumbag), hence, skipping the country (how the heck did THAT happen??).
Anyway, I didn’t get the sense that Whoopi was defending him. I don’t THINK she was saying what he DID was not “RAPE-rape,” she was qualifying what he plead guilty to. I THINK/HOPE she was just getting the facts of the case straight. Later in the clip, when she discusses that other countries think differently than we do, I think she is very accurate. Some of the defense for the guy is coming from foreign countries where 13/14 year-olds are seen as more adult and sexuality is a little more open. Does this make it right to me? NO! But, I don’t think Whoopi was excusing what he did either. I think she was simply pointing out a reason why some people in other countries might not find it so objectionable, considering that the victim has “forgiven” him and apparently wants the case dropped.
(For the record, my legal knowledge is next to nil, but *I* still think he should stand trial for the charges. I also think that IF IT’S TRUE that the victim wants to let it go, she’s got some amazing chutzpah/inner strength/inner peace/loving-kindness that I wish I had more of. I have no idea how it works legally if she doesn’t want to press charges, if, for instance, her parent(s) filed the charges initially.)
As far as “boycotting” The View: I’m with you 100% for a plethora of reasons.
Love you, Babe. xoxoxox
I missed the View today. I hardly watch. Just another reason not too IMO. I am not sure what Whoopi was trying to say. Goodlord.
What an idiot. You rock…good for you putting this out there…how dare she?!
Brava. Hopefully Whoopi wasn’t trying to be a complete assbag, but c’mon.. “rape rape?”. Who doesn’t just state that he’s a dick for the rape, and a dick for fleeing the country? We all would’ve understood that.
I’m not a fan, mainly because everyone says whatever they want with no consequence except Elizabeth Hasselback, who is vilified and degenerated by everyone for having an opinion that they disagree with.
I hope that Whoopi realizes what an asinine thing she said and that her rant is disrespectful to all victims of rape or sexual violence, no matter the circumstances.
And I hope they listen to you Nic, and that this never is allowed to happen again.
Why are we even listening to Whoopi in the first place? Why do we care? She’s a bottom-feeding sewer rat who tells us that a 45 year old man giving a 13 year old girl quaaludes, champagne and confessing to raping her, isn’t “rape rape”??? Me thinks Whoopi has some “splaining to do”… I’m confused, really confused! Extradite the asshole to the US, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law and lock him up for the rest of his life… He deserves nothing less!
Oh man…a thousand cheers could not match how proud of this post, your well-expressed fury, I am, nor a thousand cries express how disgusted I am at Whoopi’s dimwitted assholery.
Amen! I am sorry that you have suffered the way that you have and thank you for writing this.
I have never been a Whoppi fan I always thought she was a man in woman’s clothing, ooops I mean a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Send her hate mail.
OMG, that SHOCKED me to the core – that that conversation even took place. I too, used to be a fan, but I am not going to ever support Whoopi again. She just defended a man who RAPED a young girl (two years older than my daughter) and it is what it is. RAPE. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN> THERE IS NO EXCUSE. I’m sorry Nic, that as a survivor you had to watch this, knowing that if anyone can make a change in the world and speak out against this horrendous CRIME, it is other women. It’s a sad day for Whoopi Goldberg, in my book. F****k her.
DAMN STRAIGHT. Whoopi needs a little ass-kicking, if you ask me. The law is the law, and it’s been passed as law FOR A REASON. It doesn’t matter what other countries believe! Seriously? Does that mean we should have just listened to Nazi Germany? What a douche.
I’m sorry you were assaulted – yeah, I think that’s an appropriate word – by your tv. Thank god the other women didn’t agree with her – but still – unacceptable.
as a fan of the View I saw a clip of this yesterday and was embarrassed and disgusted. I’m sorry that this clip and the media attention it’s gettins has probably brought up feelings for you that you didn’t deserve to feel
Holy Mother of Fucking Hell. Did she really say that? Every. Single. Person who defends this sick bastard, I will boycott. For Whoopi to attempt to put some kind of qualifiers as to what is rape, makes me want to deck her.
AMEN.
Rape is rape is rape. There is no “rape light”.
The whole Whoopi thing makes me so sick!
I was raped at 13. I was not drugged. I did say no (just as Polanski’s victim did – from her testimony at his trial). I tried to push him off, but I did not kick or scream. So was I really raped, Whoopi?
Hell yes I was raped! Not by Polanski, but by someone very similar. It is just sick that a woman, as strong and smart as Whoopi could have such complete sewage spew from her mouth.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i saw/heard this yesterday i was so appalled and pissed off. i’m glad you posted this. let’s hope that somehow it actually gets back to her. what a scumbag she is.
Stumbled, retweeted, facebooked, emailed…Everything I can think of. I don’t watch The View; I’m not a Whoopi fan; I’m disgusted by her and every other lib in Hollywood saying he should be let go; and it totally pisses me off that I can never watch “Ghost” again…I hope that your words reach millions! Mostly, I hope your words reach other survivors so they know that not everyone feels like Hollywood…
Good for you for standing up and saying something. It repulses me when anyone tries to say one form of rape is any worse than another, tell that to a rape survivor. I don’t watch The View but I have previously been a fan of Whoopi, no more, now she just disgusts me.
Hugs to you.
BRAVO!
I’ve never watched the View, never been a fan. I am, however, now a huge fan of YOU! Your strength around the survival of your rape is admirable.
Has our society marginalized its girls so much that sex w/ a 13 yr old – drugged and forced sex – is okay? And since when did forced sex not equal rape? A thirteen year old girl is still a c-h-i-l-d. The victim had her childhood stolen from her.
Brava. I’ve been tweeting my anger over the whole Polanksi defense and outrage, as well as over my own personal outrage that Whoopi (who I thought was a strong feminist) actually sought to clarify and categories “types” of rape. I wish someone would call Whoopi to account and explain what exactly she thinks “rape rape” is.
Also, your post brought up something else for me. I, too, was raped. But I was 16, in my own bed, and it was by someone I’d had sex with before. So, Whoopi … was that rape rape? Or did the guy just “have sex” with me (you know, against my will)?
