I would like this antihuman woman to know that she has played right into the hands of abusers everywhere by making this claim. I will also send copies to the men and women who abused my sister, my preteen cousin, and a male cousin of mine who committed suicide (because he could not handle the abuse perpetrated against him). They will be so happy that this irresponsible reviewer has confirmed what they knew all along, that those people didn’t really rape us, molest us, or torture us. WE MADE IT UP.
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT IT HAS BECOME FASHIONABLE TO HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED? GOD, IF I’D ONLY BECOME AN ACCOUNTANT, MAYBE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED FROM THE AGE OF TWO! I picked the wrong profession. All the misery of the psychiatric ward I was placed in, the pain of years of substance and compulsive abuse that I put myself through–all because I’m an artist. OR did I make it all up BECAUSE I’m in artistic circles? It’s so very fashionable, you know.

Your letter piques my curiosity on one point: which theater companies protect child molesters? And how do they do this?
