Whenever I tell someone I have been sexually assaulted, I always get the same look. It’s a pretty difficult look to describe, which is strange because it is very particular and stings painfully as it finds your face. It’s the kind of look that you give to someone when you feel like they’re trying to convince you of something that just cannot be. It’s the kind of look you give to the con- man as he tries to tell you that you can own the Golden Gate Bridge or the Pyramids of Giza. It’s the kind of look a mother gives their child when asking about the cookie jar whose lid is slightly askew just before din- nertime. It’s the kind of look that sends chills through your spine because it signals that there is disbelief and, more insidiously, distrust. This look is suspicious and awkward. It’s confusing, disgusting, contesting and begrudging. For me, it has been a look of judgment, pain, and anger—as if I have always been trying to take something away from someone else. That’s it. That’s the look. I’ve never been sure if I get this look because I present myself as a “man.” What I mean here is that I present myself in such a way that others think that I am a “man” who lives in “masculine” clothes like pants, CW / Marguerite Powers button-down shirts and short hair; that I heterosexually COLUMN | SEXUAL ASSAULT love my heterosexual partner; and that I do “manly” things that make me non-threatening to the order of things.
