#1 The crime of rape is a difficult one to discuss, as it is a violation that leaves its victims scarred for life. To address this issue, we must first understand the role we play in dismissing the experiences of victims of sexual violence.

#2 Rape culture is the subject of many books, essays, and speeches. It is the norm in the United States for men to experience no consequences for these behaviors, whereas those alleging harm pay a much steeper price.

#3 The United States has a history of racism, and it is reflected in the criminal justice system. For example, it was legal for white men to rape enslaved black women, as it was not a crime for them to do so, whereas if a black man raped a white woman, he would be subject to death.

#4 In America, rape is not treated as a crime of brutal violence, but rather a parlor game: his word against hers, regret sex, revenge against a scorned lover.
