Guest Blogger for May - Abyss2hope

Posted by Abyss2hope | May 1st, 2006

My name is Marcella Chester. Amp has generously invited me to guest blog on Alas for the month of May. I’ll be bringing the same attitude I’ve shown on my own blog, Abyss2hope.

For those who haven’t encountered me or my blog, I’ll start by saying that my blog obsession is doing what I can to squash rape/sexual assault/sex abuse and the attitudes that I believe enable people to exploit others.

I don’t come to this as a neutral observer. Rather than going into detail here, I’m including a few links below:

My first blog entry explaining my motives and a little of my zigzag journey
My brush with ’stupidity’
My brush with the law
My brush with conservative Christianity

I also write novels with protagonists who have histories as rocky as my own.

    “…the attitudes that I believe enable people to exploit others.”

    I get rather obseessed about that also. Recently I found this set of web pages by a narcissist.

    To me - that seems like a reasonable way to consider rapists (and rape aplogists - who often sound like they are rapists) - that they have a Narcissistic Persoanlity Disorder. Or some may have an Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Or both.

    A narcissist - completely selfish. No sense of intimacy. Objectifies others.
