Keep in mind that these numbers should be far higher and countries like Sweden have such high numbers because people actually feel like they can report rape and something will be done about it
They made something like this a requirement at my school that was to be completed within a certain window of time online. They emailed every student this link where you had to read a bunch of stuff and then take a short multiple choice test at the end of each chapter. It was about alcohol and drug use…consent….rape….safety precautions….overall attitudes in regards to what consent is, etc.
Tf this dude trying to prove? If you weren’t a rapist then you shouldn’t really have an issue with sitting through a class about it. & Actually, lessons in consent have been severely skewed and although many of us who know what the actual meaning of consent is may see it as being obvious….clearly a ton of people don’t have a clear understanding of what it is. Hence, all these “no means yes”, “she wanted it”, “she asked for it”, “look at the way she dressed, she was open for business”, “she was drunk, so what?” dudes out here that be repeatedly committing this heinous acts.
Likewise, the statistics above are significantly undercounted, as was mentioned above. Since, what? 50-55% of occurrences of rapes are estimated to go unreported (depending on your source)? So times total reported rapes by 2 and you’ll have a more accurate number. Clearly, people need to learn more about consent and appropriate sexual conduct.

lol I feel weird about applauding white people for dressing up for Halloween and not using black face. It’s literally the bare minimum, why should I applaud someone for not hurting me? Not being mean to me, when it doesn’t even mean they’re being nice.
You can apply that train of thought to a lot of incidences.
It’s similar to people applauding men who aren’t misogynists.
Applauding men for not using/abusing women for whatever personal gains they think will be awarded to them at the cost of a woman’s well-being?
We aren’t supposed to be doing grimy sh*t like that to begin with. We shouldn’t be hurting people….especially the mother’s of humankind.
It’s like applauding individuals who stand up for someone they see being bullied.
We’re supposed to look out for each other. We’re supposed to stand up for those too timid or too weak or too insecure etc to stand up for themselves.
It’s like applauding individuals who step in to lend support to a woman when they see that woman being publicly berated or ridiculed for dressing a certain way by some random p.o.s. of a man.
Again, we’re supposed to be looking out for each other.
It’s like applauding police officers who aren’t riding around harassing, assaulting, and murdering black children, women, and men.
That’s their mf job. Serve & protect. Protect & serve. Everyone. Especially those who need the protection most.
….
I wouldn’t applaud someone not wearing black face because…..tf? You ain’t supposed to do that shit, period. But aside from that….it’s not liking you’re being brave or putting yourself at risk by not wearing black face.
In the incidences I listed that involves people standing up for other people….it does absolutely involve a certain level of selflessness and bravery. Standing up to a bully when you see someone being picked on can result in you getting your ass whooped too. So, taking that stand is good shit. I applaud that. Although we should protect each other always, it isn’t many who have the courage to do so. So, when it actually happens, it’s a pleasant surprise which may compel someone to praise/applaud them. Same with people standing up to a man who is berating a woman publicly. They don’t know what dude is carrying and clearly he’s angry….He could have the shank on him and be ready to start slicing faces. So, it also requires selflessness and bravery. It’s also something few ever do. Most will idley watch this woman be humiliated rather than stand up. So when a person does….that’s good shit. It should be an automatic response…but it isn’t. So it is also a pleasant surprise that may warrant an applause.
In the case of cops actually protecting people and the community…..well….we see/hear so much sh*t about punk ass cops doing the grimiest of things to people…black people….that when a cop stands up for a black person or is seen dealing with situations in a non-hostile, level-headed, and respectful manner…..it catches us by surprise. Finally, a good cop. Finally, an example what using your badge to serve and protect looks like rather than abusing your badge to emerge and cause wreck. Seeing that, after seeing so much bs, may compel someone to applaud them.
I don’t see anything too wrong in applauding or praising someone for their good deeds. Granted, those good deeds should be standard….but they aren’t. I don’t think that takes too much away from them deserving recognition. It’s like a person wanting their spouse to know/see/recognize that they’re faithful/loyal and honest. We should all be faithful/loyal and honest…but that doesn’t necessarily mean we shouldn’t applaud those who actually are. However, we should definitely separate the people doing good deeds just to get attention or likes from the people who do it because it’s the right thing to do. Anyone who constantly boasts about their good deeds should probably get that awkward eye. Anyone who helps people out just so they can use that as ammunition to shoot back at people during arguments or in order to get something they desire….that’s some punk sht. However, mentioning things you’ve done for others if asked the question or when writing about the type of person you are isn’t inherently boastful. So that’s passable, tho it can be hard to decipher why they would reveal that information.
Anyway yeah. Y’all don’t get my applause for not wearing black face either. lol.
