Rape and Victim Blaming

Sorted under sexual assault on June 15, 2008

Derek, a lovely feminist blogger and vlogger over at Doing Feminism has an incredible new vlog up over at his site on rape and victim blaming. With recent accounts of rape happening within 10 blocks of his house, he decided to make a vlog about rape and how so many people blame the victims for rape even existing and using such bullshit lines like “Well women shouldn’t wear short skirts or go to bars or stay out after dark.”

You should go watch the video, it’s fabulous.

Thanks very much for bringing this resource to light. This is a serious topic that I believe needs to be brought up in a much larger role in the schools.

Out Campaign

The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
