Well done Patsy.
Rape culture is baked into our culture, just ask any woman who has been raped, especially by someone she knows. Ask her about victim-blaming, even from other women!
An ex-boyfriend that I had broken up with a week before came back and raped me. Two of the women in a women’s group I belong to commiserated with me, held me while I cried, and not one of them, out of 30 women, ever mentioned going to the police. We all, without saying anything, knew that it would all fall on me. If Ken got a slap on the wrist, I’d be lucky….
I’m 62. I keep seeing women talking or writing about it, but the patriarchal dominance hierarchy and it’s attendant rape-culture never budge….
Thanks for trying.
It’s an evil that is long overdue for eradication.
