Relating to what we talked about in class a few weeks ago, about MTV and sexuality – an interesting blog article about what “rape culture’ really is. It is not just men swiping credit cards in a woman’s butt, being surrounded by 10-15 women, or throwing lunch meat and money at them. It is not just women only getting ahead when they are attractive and dress in bikinis and get breast implants. Much more subtle societal suggestions can create a culture where rape is somehow acceptable.
This is a really interesting read, and I think a few of these will surprise the class.
