Rape isn’t about uncontrollable sexual desire. You only have to listen in on a Call of Duty game to see that. When that kid crows, “I raped you!”, he’s not calling the other guy sexy; he’s saying he defeated him, dominated him, humiliated him. That’s what rape is about, and that should scare you.
gonna reblog this till I stop tumbling
forever reblog.

Sheesh
The last one..
This is fucking sick.
if you still think rape is funny here let me just slit your throat open for you
oh my god
The bolded
the last one made me cry.
fucking disgusting
schools should start teaching people that rape is wrong instead of useless things like finding the area of a kite. this post is disgusting. it’s disgusting people like rapists who make me hate the human race. people should say how bad all this is instead of covering it up or saying the people are lying.

That last one :( It speaks to me because I remember in high school guys telling me all sorts of stuff in regards to sex because they wanted to sleep with the virgin of the group. I figured out that they could care less about me (because when I said no they immediately stopped talking to me). But there are a few times that are clear to me.
1. I was hanging out with some boys playing video games and one of them made a comment like, “Ha ha ha what if we just raped you right now?” Ha ha ha right so funny ha ha I immediately told them to leave. My dad was there (not in the room with us but in his room) so yeah, they even had the nerve to say something like that (and slide in closer to me like they were actually going to try) while my dad was in the house. Then I would get the, "you’re just a tease" or “you led me on,” and you know what, asshole? Being invited to a girl’s house is not an invitation. The invitation is when I say “yes we can have sex,” not, “do you want to come over and play Star Fox with me?"
2. "Maybe I’m just too big for you.” There was one time in my life where I came close to having sex with a guy. I felt him going in, and it hurt, really bad, so I told him to stop. He told me to just relax, it always hurts at first, and I actually let him try again. But, again, it hurt so I told him to stop completely. Another thing he said was that it was “only in a little bit” and to let him keep going. Fortunately, he did, but looking back that really could’ve become like that last sign :(
3. "Your friend does it.“ Yes I had a friend who was pretty sexually active, even before high school. She was my best friend, and the guys she was with had friends who immediately assumed that I would do it, too. And while I did know that, so what if my friend does it I don’t want to, hearing it so many times when you’re so young makes you question yourself and sometimes you think, ”… yeah it’s true she is doing it and she seems to like it…“ but no, don’t fall for that shit just don’t.

This is so amazing to me. Even without hearing it, I can feel his anger and emotion over it. The power of words and expression is just stunning.
In response to the Steubenville, Ohio teen rape case, West Virginia U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld is launching a program to teach high school athletes not to post evidence of rape online.
It’s called “Project Future,” and his goal is to teach teens how to avoid getting in trouble with the law by using cell phones, cameras, and social media “responsibly.” Instead of teaching teens not to rape, the U.S. Attorney wants to teach them not to get caught.
This is rape culture at work: The very people who are in charge of enforcing our laws look at a cruel, brutal attack on a young girl and think, “If only the teens hadn’t posted photographic evidence online.”

Why doesn’t this have a million notes?!
i love how the “did you drug them” has a little pit stop at “you’re evil”
As well it should.
Really this shouldn’t be a hard concept to grasp.
More on rape and more on uncomfortable writing
Because I posted this on my Facebook, I thought I’d post it here. There’s not pretty things in my book, and here’s a longer, more thought out explanation as to how it all came about. Behind a cut for triggers and ranting about things like “legitimate rape" and such nonsense.
Reblogging because the issue is important to me, oh and because you should follow my writing blog of course. But mostly because the issue is important to me.
The many faces of rape.
This makes me sick to my stomach.
As disturbing as this is, I think it’s important to give these women voices. They are survivors.
These are terribly heartbreaking to read. And that’s the point. Stop making assumptions about rape based on stupid things like clothing or women walking alone at night. None of that crap matters. None of it. Some of these women were CHILDREN. One was raped by her friend. Her FRIEND. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, or where you are, or who you’re with, or how old you are. Rape doesn’t discriminate. And I know this post doesn’t include it, but sometimes, men are victims of rape, too. Rape doesn’t give a flying fuck, o.k.? So stop trying to figure it out. It’s wrong. No matter what the situation is. Period.
This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.
I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.
an incredibly important message, rape is rape. no one is ever asking for it. a woman has the right to dress how ever they want - it is society that identifies risque dressing as ‘asking for it’, and in my opinion, that way of thinking needs to be diminished.
Always, always reblog.
Doesn’t matter what your blog is about. Forever reblog.
Reblogging for around the 100th time
This. Just… this!
You know what the really heartbreaking thing is? Some girls actually BELIEVE that it’s THEIR FAULT if they dress a certain way. I was in class once, back in college for Women’s Studies, and we were reading a story about this woman on a very long road trip. In the middle of the trip she decided to take off her bra (under her shirt, so no one could see her do it) because, you know, 12 hours? Driving? Yeah, she wanted to be comfortable. She went into a gas station, wearing a flannel shirt and jeans, and some creep decided to not only follow her out of the gas station, but when she drove off he followed her in his car.
One of the girls said, and I quote, “She should’ve been wearing a bra.”
All of us stared at her, including my teacher – who was normally pretty laid back but I could tell by the look on her face that she wanted to flip out on this girl, but forced herself to keep it inside since, you know, she’s the teacher.
But… really? Should’ve been wearing a bra? So even underwear constitutes rape now? So what, if someone breaks into some woman’s house while she’s sleeping and rapes her, you’re going to say, “Well if she had a bra on under my nightshirt…"Every time I see the whole "Short skirt = rape” argument I think of that story, because… really? Honestly? But the scary part is that that conversation in class showed me that it’s not just men who think like that, but women do too. Maybe not that many (GOD I hope not that many) but, just hearing it from one girl was scary enough to me.
But this picture right here says it all. It’s not about the clothes you wear at all. Rape is rape. It’s terrible, no matter how you’re dressed, or where you’re walking at night, or anything like that.
