Yet, an actual OLYMPIC SWIMMER/MEDALIST plays a prank (albeit a bad one, but he didn't rape anyone) and he gets his ass handed to him.<br />Then college orientations teach girls "how to not get raped"; why not teach boys "how to not rape"? That's easier, just two words: don't rape.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798736040466864289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539100898315913459.post-13788284622087518842016-09-16T13:23:54.905-04:002016-09-16T13:23:54.905-04:00Wow, the van comment!

If I knew they wrote it, I probably would have embellished ...drew an arrow or knife through each genital photo, and changed "F*** ME" to "I'm a f**king loser".<br />Would love to read this book. I need heavy reads to balance out the fluff. I have room for both.

It's definitely a topic that needs to be addressed more often. I didn't think about how often I've seen things like the van Mindy is referring too and like the others she's mentioned, I usually just roll my eyes and move on, and I've never thought about it this way before. This post is definitely eye-opening. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!brittanysbookrambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706853763674818696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539100898315913459.post-65171708800419741042016-09-15T23:15:55.794-04:002016-09-15T23:15:55.794-04:00I love this post.

I seriously get a little more excited about it everytime I see it mentioned. This is such a casual example of rape culture and yet I wouldn't even think twice about it if I saw that scrawled in the dust on a car at this point. I feel like this post was kind of eye-opening and makes me want to make it a point to erase all the dust weenies I see from now on.

I applaud Mindy for wiping the offensive drawings off of the van. I wouldn't have hesitated to do the same. As the mother of a daughter and just a woman(or even person in general) I am offended by that and it would be no more wrong to touch someone else's possession than it was to draw and write such a thing on it! The passivity astounds me as well so thank you to Mindy for stepping up and doing the right thing! For every person that doesn't just walk by, we are that much closer to a world without rape culture! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105533161912227209noreply@blogger.com
