Rape Culture

Okay, so I recently got into an argument on Facebook about rape culture. A family friend posted a picture showing a study where high schoolers were asked when rape was acceptable, none of the answers were "never" which is disgusting for SO many reasons.

Anyway, one guy brought up that he was upset because one of the answers was "when she said she would, but changes her mind" because "guys need release" or some bullshit like that. And obviously I went off and argued and all that jazz.

So I was telling this to a friend on the car ride to dinner and I said how I don't care if a guy and girl are in the middle of having sex, if one partner decides "no, I don't want this anymore", it's done. Right then. Over. No exceptions.

So, my friend goes "I understand that and I agree, but I also know that I can never get a guy to understand that so there's really no point. People get too upset about things".

What.

Seriously.

What.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. THAT WE THINK IT'S NOT WORK ARGUING BECAUSE WE THINK THAT PEOPLE WON'T CHANGE.

We need to bring this point up OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN and I don't give a single fuck if people are sick of hearing it. I REFUSE to drop this topic until something changes.

Feminism: the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men

Ladies and gentlemen, feminism is NOT trying to make women more powerful than men, it is simply the fight for women to be equal to men.

To my ladies, if these issues don't make you angry, you're probably not educated enough on them.
