A Different Perspective
Some may argue humor can be coping, but it often silences victims.
![“Typically, [a victim of sexual assault] go home, take a shower, call their best friend, and evidence is lost. They say, "I can handle it." And they let time pass. And then, either the guy starts harassing them again or they see him do it to somebody else. Having that power on the first day is so…” quote by Kirsten Gillibrand](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6ec/kirsten-gillibrand-3719_assault_typically-a-victim-of-sexual-assault-go_1547426.jpg)
