Rape Culture

Respect for women and for all living things is something learned at an early age or not at all. Rapists are raised; and are not merely poor uninformed souls who need to be set straight on an important point of social etiquette. A talk with your son will not correct twenty years of bad parenting. Any young man who needs to be "told" that rape is an evil and vile act is probably beyond redemption already. Rape culture -- like all forms of selfishness, insensitivity, and cruelty -- begins at home.
