Fighting Rape Culture

I fight Rape Culture because when I told my ex-boyfriend about my rape, he "forgave" me.

I fight Rape Culture because I saw my baby sister age overnight as she told me about her best friend getting molested.

I fight Rape Culture because my closest friend was abused as a child and he told nobody but me. It took him 13 years to open up.

I fight Rape Culture because my friends admit to letting their partners fuck them when they don't want it, then laugh it off as typical male behavior.

I fight Rape Culture because saying you're raping someone is perfectly acceptable if you're playing a video game.

I fight Rape Culture because men tell me they are insulted when women walking in front of them start to walk faster. As if their ego is more important than our safety.

I fight Rape Culture because if I tell somebody their rape joke isn't funny, I am told that I'm uptight.

I fight Rape Culture because it won't die out unless we kill it ourselves.
