SAVE E-lert: Busting the Rape-Culture Myth

Submitted by Matt on Thu, 2014-03-20 06:29

It seems that more and more college campuses are experiencing an outbreak of a new and very dangerous virus. This virus causes fear and anxiety among female students. And it causes fear, anxiety, and depression among male students.

This virus is called "the Rape-Culture Myth."

Radical anti-rape activists are claiming that rape has increased to epidemic status.

In reality, the opposite is true. This chart (right side of page, half-way down entitled "Female Rape Victimization Rate 1993-2010") from the Dept. of Justice shows a steady decline in female rape victimization.

We believe that rape is a serious crime. Victims, both men and women, need and deserve support.

We also believe that hysteria over any subject is more harmful than helpful. And that includes rape.

Good laws are based on accurate facts. Please use this information to help us further educating the public and lawmakers about sexual assault.
