Nope, rape culture doesn’t exist. Everyone knows rape is wrong. Right?

“What’s the lasting effect though on two young men being found guilty juvenile court of rape essentially?” Crowley wondered.
“There’s always that moment of just — lives are destroyed,” Callan remarked. “But in terms of what happens now, the most severe thing with these young men is being labeled as registered sex offenders. That label is now placed on them by Ohio law.”
“That will haunt them for the rest of their lives.”

pretty cool how a study in Britain showed just how extremely few accusations of rape are false, on the order of like “30 out of 10000” and the BBC ran not one, not two, but THREE articles screaming about how OH GOD THINK OF THE FALSELY ACCUSED RAPISTS HOW RUINED THEIR LIVES ARE THIS IS ALL WOMEN’S FAULT. You literally have a study that says “false rape accusations exist but basically almost never happen” and then getting it blown into “false rape accusations are extremely commonplace” by the awful british media. Fuck the bbc.

[TW: Rape] NOT SO FUN FACT
puta-bacan:
As recently as 1991, police in a southern California community closed all rape reports made by prostitutes and addicts, placing them in a file stamped “NHI.” The letters stand for the words “No Human Involved.” (Linda Fairstein, Sexual Violence: Our War Against Rape, 1993, New York, William Morrow.)

"Teaching women how to defend themselves against male rapists is not the same as working to change society so that men will not rape. Establishing houses for battered women does not change the psyches of the men who batter them, nor does it change the culture that promotes and condones their brutality. Attacking heterosexuality does little to strengthen the self-concept of the masses of women who desire to be with men. Denouncing housework as menial labor does not restore to the woman houseworker the pride and dignity in her labor she is stripped of by patriarchal devaluation. Demanding an end to institutionalized sexism does not ensure an end to sexist oppression"

"[TW: For rape]
Such overblown rhetoric disguises the operation of a double standard in contemporary society. On the one hand, the consumption of alcohol is viewed as making women MORE responsible for their own rape: by choosing to get drunk, women are deliberately increasing their risk and should be prepared to face the consequences. On the other hand, male consumption of alcohol is viewed as making them LESS responsible for their actions; by choosing to get drunk, men increase the chance of inappropriate behaviour and should not therefore be required to pay the price for their actions."

i back this 100%. its not cool or okay to make jokes about this kind of stuff. however it’s not cool or okay to physically assault people either.
violence will not get you anywhere.
Fuck that. Reinforcing a system of oppression by joking and normalizing that system of oppression is a worse form of violence than punching some shithead in the nose.
