Destructive and abusive relationships are becoming the norm in this Rape Culture and it not healthy nor beneficial to anyone. We even are telling our youth that these things are okay. That destructive relationships are the ideal. In the Twilight Series their relationship is the definition of abusive. So here is a statistic , 83 percent of men said some women just look like they are asking for it that is one of my biggest pet peeves is that men say oh well she was dressed provocatively so she should expect advances. It doesn’t matter if you are wearing no clothes or all the clothes if someone assaults you then you need to go and tell someone see what they think and then go and get tested just in case. There are slut walks that are amazing now all over the world. People walking with signs that say things like “Oh did her clothes provoke you well your stupidity provokes me.” And etc.

There is a big problem in the way that people treat victims. It is no their fault nor will it ever be. People slut shame all the time and it is unacceptable. This woman and all the others like her did not deserve to be violated and have their control and power taken away from them by force. It is a huge detriment to someone’s spirit when they believe they have no power over their own lives and are so incredibly scared if it is done by someone they know and have to see on a day to day basis. Just because you know about the danger doesn’t mean in wont come to you. We as women pass so many judgments on each other calling the other slut or whore or bitch for no reason other than we can, other than it makes us feel better to think we are more superior.

This is what are culture is. This is our rape culture and this is what it can do to you. I think it time to take a step back and pause and think about ways in which this inst the case in which we can fix this culture make it more safe make it more loving make it more consensual make it more ous and not something that we are ashamed of. Let our culture beign to be something that we can be proud of instead of embarrassed by.
