Today we viewed a number of documentaries on rape! I know a lot about rape, but some things really stuck out to me, mainly the misinterpretations/misconceptions about rape such as:
-Black women love rough sex, so therefore, they can't be "raped".
-Black men are the main rapists.
-Most rapes are false accusations.
-The saying "She doesn't act like she was raped."
-Most rapes are done by people you dont know.
-They saying "What were you doing there? You asked for it."
I can name quite a few of these misconceptions but these few really stuck out to me! Also, there was a documentary on how religion played in rapes, mainly Islamic, how the women are to be subjective and obedient, often seen as property, rather than partner.
