I would like to state that women are not the only individuals who are raped. Men are often raped and most cases go unreported. This post will focus on rape against women because women are most often raped. Here is a video, of adults who are discussing a video created about a 13 year old woman who talks about slut blaming and rape culture. Most of the individuals had a problem with her age. Personally, I understand that some adults want their children to remain innocence but in truth a lot of rape victims are around her age. Also, in my opinion children should be just as aware as adults to the best of their understanding because this affects everyone. Education youths become better informed adults that will make stronger choices. My favorite comment in the video, is when one adult states that no matter what you teach your children somewhere along the line they will make up their own opinion and become their own person. I completely agree with this statement because adults should allow for children to make their opinion and choices but the only way to do that is to let them express themselves as well as educate them, and have open discussions. In some cases they might change your mind. What do you think of the video, the idea of rape culture, and “slut blaming”?
The video also stated that the amount of individuals who were have sex at such a young age during his youth was a lot lower than then now? I am not sure how true this statement is because just because someone is talking about sex does not mean they are engaging in the behavior. It also does not mean that if someone is not having sex they are unable to talk about it or have an opinion?
Maybe, the young women video is an example of what is to come. Are more individuals going to speak out on their opinion on a variety of topics that directly or indirectly affects them?
