Rape Culture (I Blame Pop Culture)

Rape culture links rape and sexual violence to the culture of a society, and in which prevalent attitudes and practices normalize, excuse, tolerate, and even condone rape. And we thank Wikipedia for their definition. Rape Culture is

·           Blaming the Victim, the victim’s clothing, time the victim was out, how much did the victim drank in alcohol, did the victim know the rapist

·           When a Group of men & boys have "gang bang" sex on a girl. The guys get arrested yet still people ask “Where was the girl’s parents”?

·           "Men can’t be raped by Women"

·           Children well under the age of consent thinking having sex at that age is normal

·           Seduction is romantic

·           Watching a sex tape of an R&B crooner, saying that he did it yet still buying his music (I’m not a hypocrite because I am a hypocrite. I was still a fan of Trapped in the Closet Chapters for a minute after finally seeing the tape) music. Umm don’t you think the true public opinion didn’t sway the case

·           Men cat-calling and harassing women as the walk down the street

·           Young men being taken to prostitute because they are "too old to be a virgin"

·           Girls not being allowed to wear legging to school because it entices the boys & male teachers

·           Boy slapping girls on the butt or grabbing their breast and running off like it’s their free for all right to grope

·           Women just now being thought of as child molesters & rapists

·           The term “underage sex worker” instead of “child trafficking victim”

·           20 different ways women have been taught to avoid rape, while barely anyone is teaching men NOT TO RAPE

·           Asking “Were any of the rapist’s victims, prostitutes or strippers”?

·           Video games are created that allow players to rape other player’s characters… for amusement

·           Men plan out their rapes in advance by carrying rape drugs with them

·           When Rappers don’t understand putting drugs in a person’s drink, taking that person anywhere to have sex, have sex with said person and “they don’t even know it” is Wrong

·           When the President of France attacks a random stranger in his hotel room and gets away with it, cause “women always want sex.”

·           Arizona publishes the names and addresses of rape victims

·           When universities give women students rape whistles to stop rape

·           “You know you want it” because of these “Blurred Lines”

·           Believing men are wild animals unable to control their sexual urges

·           Detention centers and communities allowing undocumented women to be raped because the fear of deportation keeps them from reporting

·           One Month Rape Sentences

·           Child Brides not Sex Slaves

·           Rape Culture is made up by Angry Feminists
