What is rape culture? How is it perpetuated on college campuses?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Students should state that rape culture is a patriarchal culture in which boy's and men's violence and rape are tolerated. Rape culture allows men to objectify women in degrading ways without experiencing significant backlash from others. Rape culture is perpetuated on many college campuses and this is often a result of "hook up" culture. When college students attend parties, there is often an expectation that they will over-drink and have "hook up." When sexual assault occurs, women have a difficult time defending themselves and the harm they have experienced due to society excusing the actions of men. The common phrase "boys will be boys" allows men to get away with unacceptable behavior.
