Rape myths are wrongly held beliefs about the crime of rape and its victims.
Examples: Women really want to be raped; it's impossible to rape someone who doesn't want to be raped; rape does not hurt, particularly if the victim is sexually active; men cannot control their sexual urges, therefore women must take responsibility for leading men on; women who dress provocatively or hang out in bars are asking for it.
