Rape Culture: 20 More Signs

http://www.nationofchange.org/2015/03/07/rape-culture-20-more-signs/



Rape culture is the “don’t drink because you could end up in a bad situation” lecture being given to women who are the victims of crimes, not the men who commit them.

Rape culture is talking about rape and having someone say, “Yeah, it’s happened to everyone you know.”

Rape culture is not having a discussion about pornography comprising 30 percent of Internet traffic.

Rape culture is rarely talking about how to improve many video games that objectify females, despite significant research by gamers like Anita Sarkeesian.

Rape culture is gamers threatening critics with rape and feminists with killing because, you know, the dehumanization of women in video games has no affect on them.

The number of rapes in certain states corresponds to a higher incidence of pornography sales in these states. These specific correlations are prevalent in many countries. I guess you have not done your research. Especially in regards to violent porn. But why doesn't that surprise me?
And if you are being sarcastic, I apologize.

Always bugs me. Drinking is more prevalent in rapists than their victims. That is NEVER mentioned. When it is mentioned it is always in conjunction with a woman's drinking. It's not women who should be told not to drink.
