Dec 2012

The epidemic of rape must be addressed. The ramifications for society as a whole are profound.

A rape culture affects all of us--even people who have never been sexually assaulted or raped. (Most women have experienced some form of sexual harassment). All young girls (& boys) should have self-defense, taught in schools. All should have training in what constitutes rape and how to avoid it.

Not only does it affect interactions between the sexes, but a rape culture is linked to predation of all kinds.

The state of being physically and psychologically victimized--the injustice of one sex having "power over" another--is incredibly destructive.

Most girls in this culture today grow up knowing they have a target on their backs. They feel the hatred and
domination that is behind every rape--the subjugation of women in general that rape culture promotes.

EVERY woman, young or old, feels this.
