I am currently:

You're not stuck at all, and in all honesty it sounds like by sharing your experience or identifying more strongly with feminism, you are finding positive ways in which to cope. Three months is no time at all. Imagine if you had broken your spine; nobody (yourself included) would expect you to be healed by three months. I think most people would expect overcoming sexual assault to take longer than any physical trauma.

If it helps, I am similar in terms of researching theories or feminism. I am a huge advocate of Lewis-Herman's perspective on trauma psychiatry, and find it helpful to be critical of labels like BPD when problems are more likely to stem from other peoples' horrific actions rather than the affected individual. You are certainly not alone and I really hope you can be kind and patient with yourself.
