#ILeftBecause of several reasons, actually.

Reason Two in the #ILeftBecause saga -
I was not damaged goods because my father raped me.
I was not a seductive Jezebel because the evangelist groped me.
I was not ever "the strong woman he needs to be in ministry so get back w/your attempted rapist". 2/

#ILeftBecause Reason Three:
I refused to believe that God required me to never use my brain, to never voice my opinions, and to never contradict a man because of my vagina.
I wouldn't marry a man I could manipulate nor one too stupid to listen to a woman. 3/
