The onus of rape prevention has always been on women. Young girls are told to dress and behave conservatively and not to draw attention to themselves unnecessarily to avoid being raped and this is no less true of the in-school curriculum for youths. - Esther Tung and Navneet Hans
From Sports Leader USA, Joe Ehrmann says, “Violence against women is often thought of as a women’s issue; but it is a mistake to call men’s violence a women’s issue. Since men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of this violence, this men’s issue calls into question the cultural values that produce men who hurt women.”
But your actions did encourage people to mock and disbelieve rape survivors. You encouraged people to joke about rape, about the concerns of people who have been raped and people fighting to end it. You belittled people who are damn tired of rape being treated as nothing but a joke. - Jim Hines
