What are “rape myths” (provide an example in your answer) and how do they contribute to the phenomenon of unacknowledged rape?
What will be an ideal response?
Rape myths are false beliefs about rape, rape victims, and rapists (e.g., “if a woman doesn’t resist, it can’t be considered rape”). People who more strongly endorse rape myths tend to interpret sexual violence as rape less often. This can lead to more instances where individuals have experiences that meet legal definitions of rape without labeling their experiences at such.
