Rape Culture?

12 comments
You mean it's my fault if I get raped because I'm wearing this dress? Oh fuck that.

This issue has always bothered me.

Women should not be told to do things to avoid getting raped.
Men should be told not to rape.

Women should be able to wear whatever they want in public and not be judged as "inviting."
Men should learn to control themselves.

Women should not be viewed as species whose purpose is to attract men.
Men need to keep it in their pants. Or learn to use their hands to please themselves if you know what I mean.

I mean, come on. I saw THIS post on Thought Catalog and the picture below and got pissed off.

  5. This short post means so much to me. It's disgusting to see how media cover up rapists and how men will always blame the girls for being drunk or wearing something that's "inviting". Bravo for posting this and raising awareness!
