Pretty shocking !

What is rape culture? It’s a set of attitudes that excuse or tolerate rape. Rape culture is when the media sympathizes with the attackers instead of lifting up the courage of the survivor. CNN’s awful coverage of the Steubenville verdict is one example.  Rape culture is when we ask “Why did she drink so much?” or “What was she wearing?” instead of stating clearly that rape is never, ever okay.  It is always, always, always unacceptable.   A change in the culture is needed.  The rampant rape of women (and men) in the military as depicted so well in the movie, “The Invisible War,”  demands a change in the culture.
