Silence is a position of restraint.

Restraint requires strength of character.

Strength of character requires ... well ... strength.

That's sort of the position I'm taking on the matter. I guess this post is questioning whether or not its the "right" position, whatever that means.

Do not suffer rape in silence.

Abuse is continued suffering through silence.
