Rape culture is when a man infront of me drops his scarf and I stand as far away from him as possible when I give it back so he can’t grab me.

Rape culture is when I’m so scared of this stranger that I don’t want to smile I’m case I ‘give our the wrong signals’.

Rape culture is when I can’t be the person I want to be out of fear.

ADDITION: rape culture is when you pretend something that was meaningful and real to you didn’t happen because of the death threats, the abuse and the fear you feel when you tell people. When you are so scared and down heartened about what happened and the level of abuse directed solely at you that you pretend it didn’t happen just to get away from.

You know what? It is real. Rape culture is alive. And no matter that people ignore it and deny it, it will change and I will fight for it to end every step of the way.
