Mac McClelland, author of For Us, Surrender is Out of the Question, has instigated heated debate recently over her fiercely honest and controversial article “How Violent Sex Helped Ease My PTSD,” about her personal experiences with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and, more specifically, how she chose to conquer it. McClelland, author and human rights reporter for Mother Jones magazine, has traveled to many countries devastated by war and/or natural disaster, including Malaysia, Thailand, Micronesia, Haiti, and Bhutan. While in Haiti after the earthquake, McClelland helped a woman who had been raped at gunpoint by five men to the hospital.McClelland writes,
“The way her five attackers had maimed her in addition to sexually violating her was unspeakable. The way the surgeon who was going to try to reconstruct the damage yelled at her, telling her she’d got what was coming to her because she was a slut, was unconscionable. And the way Sybille went into a full paroxysm when we were on the way back to the post-quake tarp city she lived in was the worst thing I ever saw in my life. We were sitting in traffic and saw one of her rapists, and she started just SCREEEAMING a few inches away from my face, her eyes wide and rolling in abject terror.”
