I don’t usually post things like this but the fact that there are still people saying that what we wear is the issue that needs to be addressed. This is what I was wearing... what’s the issue there. #abolishrapeculture

We need to stop rape culture it has to be done. stop saying “boys will be boys” stop asking “what were you wearing”
Freely given consent is necessary, every damned time. Instead of listening for a “no,” make sure there is a willing, “yes,” from all involved. Normalise enthusiastic consent in your life and talk about it.
STOP FUCKING VICTIM BLAMING.
Because language is deeply embedded in culture, we often forget that the words and phrases we use each day shape how we think and live.
Rape-affirming beliefs are embedded in our language: “they were dressed provocatively. They were asking for it,”

It is part of popular song lyrics: “I know you want it.”
It is normalized by objectifying people and calling them names in pop culture and media.
You have the power to choose to leave behind language and lyrics that blame victims, objectify people and excuse sexual harassment.

What a person is wearing, what and how much they had to drink, and where they were at a certain time, is not an invitation to rape them. All of this means absolutely nothing when it comes to consent.
Consent can be taken away. Even mid way through sex or beforehand and nobody has any right to get annoyed or angry about that happening. Nobody owes anyone consent and if you act like they do then that’s coercion.
There should be a Zero tolerance policy everywhere for sexual assault no “slap on the wrist” no warnings. You shouldn’t get off because it can ruin your bright future. Your actions potentially ruined the victims future and mental health.
In the era of #MeToo 
, #TimesUp, #NiUnaMenos 
, #BalanceTonPorc, and other online movements, survivors of violence are speaking out more than ever before. And listening to them can help us learn more about how to support them. They speak up to be listened too not for attention+

As some may think.
Don’t laugh at rape. Rape is never a joke or a punchline. Joking about it de sensitises the subject and takes the seriousness away from the topic. It also makes it harder for victims to feel safe to speak up.
Educate yourself on the real problems. The real causes of rape. Rapists. Violent masculinity. Victim blaming.
In 2021 by now we should ALL know that no means no. No does not mean “persuade me” no does not mean “try again” even if someone is laughing while saying no it means no. Don’t try and “read between the lines” just accept the rejection and give up.
If I’ve missed anything can anyone please add things and can people rt to spread the awareness. And note that I have only used gender neutral terms in this post as rape can happen to anyone.
