#rapecultureiswhen trended on Twitter last night, seemingly sparked Von Zerlina Maxwell (link) after she was told she was "overhyping rape culture."
This Artikel is a collection of some of my Favorit tweets because I think awareness is important. Many people ignore the existence of rape culture, oder if they acknowledge it they do not understand its extent. So:
Rape culture is when...
any talk about rape turns into the obvious fact that "not men all like that!" instead of "too many men are like that."
link
men are allowed to travel, go out at night, get drunk, wear whatever they want--without it being seen as "asking for it."
link
a song about having sex without consent (with lyrics straight from rapist's mouths) tops the charts for an entire year.
link
half of undergrads believe 50% of rape allegations are false when in reality, it's Mehr like 2-6%.
link
people think that making jokes about sexual harassment + assault is okay because "it's just a joke."
link
schools enact dress codes aimed at girls but don't address sexually aggressive behaviors boys exhibit towards girls.
link
politicians talk about "legitimate rape" and "forcible rape," and rape as part of God's plan.
link
people assume the only reason you'd care about rape is b/c Du must have been raped & are now hypervigilant & over reacting.
link
CNN bemoans Lost football careers of bright young felons with nary a word for what victims suffer.
link
3 out of 4 rape crisis centers can't meet the need for prevention programs because their Rape Prevention funds are cut.
link
"I asked her out and she sagte no a few times but I finally wore her down" = romantic.
link
men assume women are "dressing for them."
link
military officials punish and shame victims but protect rapists in their ranks.
link
we think of rapists as monsters, and it blinds us to the "nice" people in our midst who rape.
link
saying "no" is viewed as a coquettish way of playing hard to get.
link
only 3% of rapists ever spend a Tag in jail.
