Rape Presentation

The class presentation on Thursday was about rape culture and how difficult it is to structurally define what rape is.  The group’s presentation was informative and really forced me to think about rape and how I only view rape when it comes to women.  I thought that their presentation was clear and informative and the article that they provided with us to read was also interesting as well.  I feel as though the education about rape and the different ways that it can happen is also important.  Because rape has a stigma that it just has to be violent.  However, there are multiple forms of rape that are not necessarily violent in a physical way but psychological and an emotional way.  I also never realized how many people was that aware of rape and when it could happen, I know that it could happen to me but I never walk around scared that every time I see a man that it could happen.  I wouldn’t mind taking a self-defense class because I believe that they are the best form of protection for a woman… along with pepper spray.
