It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that a billion women have been raped or beaten, just the enormity of that. when i was in college, i'd heard that one in four women would be raped, and i thought, god, that means i must know someone who was raped. sure enough, i found out a week later that a friend had been. a billion is too big because one is too big.
