Synopsis "The Journey of My Smiles"
The Rape Culture is seen as the new black. It is a norm depicted to be humorous. In India, a girl is raped every 20 minutes, and most perpetrators believe that when a woman says "no," she really means "yes" (Kamdar et al., 2017). Now, in this same study, 30% of the participants believe that the victim has had previous sex with the perpetrator. In my cases, I had not had sex with any of them prior to the incident(s). 35% of these participants also believed that the perpetrators were strangers. Well, in my cases, they were not. 40% of the participants believe that the victim was drunk. In my case, this is certainly not true. I have never smoked, drank or did drugs even until today - not a wine cooler, beer, wine, or champagne - nothing not even a sniff. 50% of the participants believe that men just have a strong sex-drive and need to relieve that sexual tension. Well, I cannot speak on behalf of men. Strain, Martens, and Saucier, (2016) study was completed in the United States and see rape as the new norm as it is depicted in comedy, literature and on television in humorous ways. Fisher, Cullen, and Turner, (2000) study says that one out of every four women in the United States will be raped in their lifetime. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Michelle A.
