Victim advocates applaud Craigslist rape verdict

47. Actually I've looked at all sides

Concluding not only that I live in a rape culture--but a world wide rape culture was neither an easy or pleasant conclusion to reach. It hurts.

But it can be changed--it is being changed. We tend to see the world through American eyes, not realizing the activism that's going around the world.

Here's a word I like; intersectionality. Combining the fight against injustice, oppression, bigotry and misogyny for women all over the world and through spectrums of feminism. Realizing my cis-white female experience is not the standard for many women.

But we all share rape culture, I think conflating rape culture and individual acts of rape in a discussion about rape culture is counterproductive, and leads to divisiveness, not to mention it exposes an ignorance of what rape culture is.
