The Rape Culture!

The Rape culture

What is the rape culture? The rape culture is when society sees a drunken girl who is passed out being attacked by a group of boys and do nothing. Rape culture is when one of those said attackers take pictures of the girl and post it on facebook, myspace or twitter and the audience take part in bullying and teasing the said victim. Rape culture is when we have idiotic politicians talking about legitimate rape.

We live in a type of society that is immune to the sexual assault of women, men and children and does nothing about it. We live in a culture where women are blamed for their rape because they dressed in what this culture says to be indecent or provocative or they decided to have a good time with their friends and get drunk.

Rape culture is when rape victims are denied the choice to have an abortion and made by politicians to have their rapist baby. Rape culture is when the police and judicial system fail and treat the victim like the criminal. Rape culture is when the system fails and give the criminal a 30 day sentence. Rape culture is when that said victim commits suicide. Rape culture is when a victim is mocked when he/she goes to therapy . Rape culture is when the victims are told to get over it. Rape culture is when the church and other religious groups are silent.

Rape culture is when religious organizations focus so much on the victim forgiving her abuser than denouncing the criminal. Rape culture is when religious organizations force their doctrine about abortion on the victim. Finally Rape culture is when society has become immune to sexual assault against women, children and men.

How can  we overcome the rape culture?

We can give the victims the choice to have an abortion if they were violated. We can stop with the blaming of the victim whether she dressed like a slut or whether she was passed out. We can get rid of Politicians who come up with this legitimate rape business. We can offer access to psychologists, therapists, counselors and other mental health professionals. The church must stop being silent and stop forcing their doctrine about abortion on rape victims. The church needs to stop talking about only forgiveness of the rapist but denounce them and focus on the healing of the victim. We must stop telling the victim to get over it. Healing takes time, sometimes days, sometimes weeks, sometimes months and yes sometimes even years. These things cannot happen unless we become desensitized from this rape culture. This may take very long because society is resistant to the cries of these victims.
