Rape Culture

By Mirror Mirror

For as long as you are in denial of Rape Culture and of its existence, YOU are enabling it, YOU are condoning it, YOU are normalising it, YOU are excusing it, YOU are tolerating it, YOU are glamourising it and celebrating it. It's because your head is buried in sand, rape culture is here to stay. You are not an ostrich, you are a person, step away from your comfort zone and face the raw ugly truth, yes it is unpleasant but this is the reality we're living in. 

Please know that your silence is killing us.

  • A former member wrote: rape...a uncomfortable subject but it happens daily. noone wants to say it happened. its embarrasing to victims and some fear to bring it to light. rapist should be put in prison until they are raped. then killed.

  • A former member wrote: sexual abuse is all too commonly denied now, maybe because of the girls who cry wolf and destroy innocent lives. but then there are those who have suffered sexual abuse, and people criticize and question you. asking you if you just regret it now and that's why you call it rape. it's sickening. and did you know "rape" on a man is just considered assault? where's the justice in that? such a small piece makes you really think

  • A former member wrote: Rape is about power...start a business or hunt if you want power. Your words have wonderful power behind them! Wish more people thought that way

    "Please know that your silence is killing us." Great post, points made and things said here are very necessary...personally, I think rape should be punishable by death. Sometimes murder is justified, but rape never is...great job... -NN
