The rape culture we live in
“It’s like every guys worst nightmare, to get accused for rape!”
- Oh, you know what’s every girl's worst nightmare?
From the movie Promising Young woman
It’s awful, to say the least. It’s awful to state that we live in a rape culture: in a culture where rape is not considered too much of a human rights issue, where rapists lives are preferred over the lives of victims, where victim shaming is more common than not and where victims need to undergo excessive suffering just to prove their experience was real. It’s awful that rape is not considered as serious a crime as it is nor all the disruption it causes to the rest of the lives of its victims. It’s awful that reporting sexual assault often results in disbelieving.
