Named after Gateway Apartments in Tempe, Arizona near the ASU Campus, after an unidentified man broke into the apartments due to a break in the gate and raped a woman.
Guy- you goin to the party at Gateway?
Girl- Rapeway? No fuckin way.
A man-made, open-air passageway, usually dimly lit, that appears to have been designed for the sole purpose of hosting a rape.
-"Follow me. I know a short cut to get to the porno theater."
-"Wait, you mean through there?"
-"Yeah, what are you, chicken?"
-"No, I just don't want to get raped, and that damp alley is a total rapeway."
-"Suit yourself. I'm not missing the previews."
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
