 Tags: children/youth, gender, culture, rape, sexual assault, 00 to 05 mins Year: 2010 Length: 1:43 Access: Jezebel.com Summary: This clip is taken from a local news report about a group of boys and men who drugged and raped a 16-year-old girl in a field nearby a party they were attending. Some time later, pictures of the rape were posted on Facebook, and according to reports, each time the pictures were taken down by Facebook, they were reposted. Note in the clip that against the victim's own claim of being raped and despite reports that she was given a date rape drug, the students who were interviewed by the news station assert their belief that consensual sex occurred, not rape. At about 40 seconds into the clip, the teens go further by suggesting that the victim was at fault. I see this clip as working well to facilitate two sorts of discussions. The first is a discussion of the concept of rape culture, which is articulated well in the book Transforming a Rape Culture: "A rape culture is a complex of beliefs that encourages male sexual aggression and supports violence against women." Feminist blogger, Melissa McEwan, has also posted an influential essay on the topic. A second more thorough discussion from this clip might draw from Elizabeth Armstrong's article, "Sexual Assault on Campus," to explore how rape is often the result of cultural factors working in tandem with organizational arrangements.

This excellent post from Sociological Images would work nicely as an accompaniment to the clip featured above. http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2011/07/12/reception-of-rape-victims-silsbee-tx-edition/

it is very evil who destroy and has hard heart to hurt to the victim. Stop to do this to the woman like the mothers, wives, girlfriends children. because they are deserve for that. if the man or husband or guy will do to the woman. The men must have a penalty death fair. 1/4/2013 06:33:55 pm
woman have a right to be treated with respect and men should not invade or violate them in anyway and any man who dose should face the full consequences of the law a man who violates a woman is nothing short of being an animal and should not be allowed to leave within Society 1/9/2013 06:29:43 am
assaults on woman has to stop it is time the law dealt weigh these people more aggressively I some times wonder if the judges agree with these people when they get such light sentences I cannot understand the judges at time and to say a woman deserves it it beyond all comprehension 7/8/2013 03:33:06 pm
Well, we want to avert crime but not to encourage it. Women have all there is to ware whatever they deem fit but it is important they do it responsibly. Talking about going nude, why don't we rather bath in the open to make it whole

If a woman was wearing nothing, it doesn't mean an open invitation for men (or women). Any type of sex a person has not consented to, is rape. She (or he) should not be blamed for something someone else did to them. She was not "asking for it" based on her clothing. It is the rapists fault, not the victim every single time. 3/28/2022 07:48:22 pm
Rape should not be tolerable and rapist should be punished. It's never okay to blame the victims.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
