UVA Rape Case: The story has been controversial because of the many ambiguities. The case also calls into question fraternity/sorority actions, and administrative response. Personally this case is interesting and relevant to me because I am a part of Greek life, and our philanthropy is to combat violence against women. I am personally impacted by the story because as a woman on a college campus, I have experienced rape culture, and the different scenarios in which women are forced into, and the aftermath of actual date rape instances.
The pattern I would like to address specifically with rape cases is public response, especially responses that blame he victim. I believe that the responses provide a stronger picture about rape culture, and why the issue of rape culture continues to exist.
no more rape culture
