“Why does rape culture exist? As a proudly feminist organisation, we believe that rape culture exists because our society sees women and girls as less important than men and boys. In other words, as less deserving of respect and power (over both their own lives and within society). Sometimes, we also talk about women and girls being 'objectified' or 'hyper-sexualised' from a young age. By this, we mean they are viewed as objects that exist to entertain, serve or pleasure men – instead of equal human beings. But why is this? Well, we believe it's because we live in a society where men hold the most power – what is sometimes known as 'patriarchy'. It’s not a coincidence that the majority of victims and survivors of sexual violence are women and girls. Or that most perpetrators are men. Because, when society views women and girls as less deserving of respect and power than men and boys, it treats them that way too.” By the way, I see verbal backflips, and literary backflips in The Bible. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
