The most consistent predictors of violence against women are factors associated with gender inequality. These gendered drivers of violence include (i) condoning men's violence, (ii) limiting women's independence, (iii) beliefs in rigid gender roles and (iv) male peer culture
Societies which condone violence through social norms i.e. widely held attitudes experience higher levels of violence against women. People condone violence in a number of ways: by excusing violence, trivialising it or shifting blame from the perpetrator to the victim
I guarantee you every cis-hetero man you know has, at some point, not gotten good consent from a woman (or worse) for a sexual act
This is not a thread to point fingers or vilify men. This is a thread to talk about what we actually mean by "rape culture."
No, we don't mean all men are rapists. We mean that we all live in & participate in a culture that romanticizes & normalizes sexual assault
