April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month!!!
Thus far, my sorors and I have been working hard to spread the word, from our “Teal Tuesdays” (teal is the official color for the commemorative month), to sharing statistics and facts with the student body, to our whiteboard campaign. It was great to see my peers willingly join in and express themselves, as we worked to raise awareness about SAAM. :)
This is just a few of the MANY photos we have taken, posted, and shared…and from what I’ve been informed, our movement has been picked up by the Deltas and our sorors at Bethune-Cookman University, as well.
- Rape Culture: If a woman drinks alcohol and gets raped, it's partially her fault. If you don't want to get raped, you shouldn't be drinking.
- Men at bars: Can I buy you a drink?
- Me: No thanks.
- Men at bars: What the fuck, why not? Come on. Come ON, let me buy you some alcohol. God, I was being nice. Why would you turn down my generous offer? I guess chivalry really is dead. What a bitch.

sigh one of the pages I liked on facebook years ago is active and keeps posting links to “funny” stuff
and there was this one of two girls about rape, and one of them was like “Real Men Don’t Rape” and the other “How would you like it if I raped you?”
and I’m the one blacked out
and normally I wouldn’t bother but I got so angry for some reason today maybe because im stressed and tired
and also kinda embarrassed at the fact people can’t tell the difference between consensual sex and rape, or think its appropriate to joke about it
it’s just plain ignorance
(ik i used the word stupid and i feel bad but i cant change it now im sorry)
i need to sleep im so fucking tired
also fucking princess i’ll drive a stake through your fucking heart Mr Atkinson, then you can call me princess from beyond the fucking grave
I often point out the race of my rapist, and a lot of people think I have an issue with white men due to it. That is not the case, but there is a good reason why I point out his race. As a child of diaspora my people (black women) were raped by white men and it…

A gang sex assault of a mentally challenged girl was “consensual” because the attackers also have low IQs, Long Island police say.
The Nassau County police abruptly dropped the case of three ninth-grade boys who allegedly attacked a mentally challenged Manhattan girl during science class because her attackers’ own mental deficiencies, along with the victim’s, made it “not something for us to get into,” the Daily News has learned.
On May 8, two boys forced the 15-year-old girl to perform oral sex, then attempted to anally sodomize her, while another boy banged her on the head at the Martin De Porres Academy, a school for special-needs kids and juvenile delinquents in Elmont, says her attorney.
When the girl returned home that night, “she was quiet and very sad looking” and had blood on her panties, her heartbroken mother told The News.
The next day, the school’s social worker called. “She said my daughter was sexually assaulted,” the mother said.
So she took her daughter to the hospital, where staffers called police.
Unbeknownst to the mother, weeks later school administrators asked the Nassau County police to drop the case.
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK
im pretty sure just because her attackers were mentally challenged doesnt mean *she* consented
where the fuck is the logic in that
ALSO: “She [the girls mum] added it was incomprehensible one of the girl’s attackers could be found competent to be convicted of robbery, but not for the assault on K.J.”
he was convicted of robbery but not rape?
this is all kinds of fucked up

This is fucking scary, and it shows that we do live in a “rape culture” in which abusers and rapists have little idea that they are doing something wrong. My abuser didn’t….

There are so many of these horrible survey results, and everyone should know them and then tell me there’s no such thing as misogyny and rape culture.

if people seriously think this is okay then i don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Any questions?
Just … the idea of middle aged white men who have never been the victim of sexual abuse or have ever owned a uterus (as opposed to thinking they own every single one in their legislative jurisdiction), can have a say in what I do with my body is not just repulsive, it’s ridiculous. What exactly qualifies these people who apparently don’t even have a basic grasp of biology and human anatomy to define and justify what I may or may not do with my goddamn body? If I don’t get a say in Todd Akin’s ridiculous comb over, why the fuck does he think he can get a say in something as significant as a pregnancy? Also, WHEN THE FUCK DID MY BODY GET NATURAL DEFENSES TO UNWANTED PREGNANCIES AND WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS? ALSO WHAT THE FUCK CONSTITUTES A LEGITIMATE RAPE YOU PUERILE SACKS OF SHIT?

Hi, there.
I’m wearing a shirt that reads “Kill Me”.
If you saw me at a party or on the street would you promptly murder me?
What about if I had a few drinks? What if I was walking alone at night?
I’m guessing that you wouldn’t if you’re a sane individual.
The cops wouldn’t overlook your crime because of what I’m wearing because that’s silly. I wasn’t literally asking for you to kill me based on my choice of clothing. Who would take that defense seriously?My friends wouldn’t blame me for being murdered and my killer would be behind bars almost instantly.
So, why is it okay to rape someone because they’re wearing revealing clothes? Why does THEIR choice of clothing excuse THEIR attacker?
It doesn’t. You’re silly if you think otherwise.
The less guilt on the attacker. The more guilt on victim.
Stop. Victim. Blaming.Reblogging this again because it’s perfect.
This is just so perfect.
