Not sure what rape culture is? We live in a culture where rape is normalised, accepted, and legitimised based on societal attitudes towards gender … and of course, that means, attitudes towards women. Rape culture endorses the following beliefs and behaviours — or some combination thereof (thanks, Wikipedia):
- victim blaming
- slut-shaming
- sexual objectification
- trivializing rape
- denial of widespread rape
- refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by some forms of sexual violence
This video shows women being groped, molested, harrassed, assaulted.
And if you’re about to tell us, “Well, those girls shouldn’t be there, shouldn’t be dressed like that, shouldn’t be drinking, bleat, bleat, bleat” then DON’T. JUST DON’T. No-one gets to say that here. Take your victim-blaming elsewhere.
