What would the experience have been of a young woman in the mid-1930's who was raped and became pregnant?

1 Answer

Answer :

My dad was born in 1924 & my Mom in 1926. according to the stories I overheard, the victim of rape was chastised for allowing it to happen. IF she became pregnant she was ostrasized for “enjoying it” while it was happening because a woman couldn’t get pregnant IF she didn’t “enjoy it”...This was happening in the US.
