Rape is not sex.
"Rape is not sex, it is sexualized violence."
One of the biggest misconceptions about rape is that it's a type of forced sex. It's not sex at all. It is violence. It is a crime. It isn't about getting laid, it's about holding/exerting power over another person. It's about trying to dominate someone, to demean them.
That's why a rape victim/survivor is never "asking for it". No matter what they were doing or wearing, they weren't to blame for what happened to them. They were not the problem. The problem was and is in the mind of the attacker. The part of the attacker that tells them it's ok to diminish another person's humanity, that their power is the only thing that matters, and they will prove by using and abusing another person that they are not inferior.
Rape isn't sex. It's violence. It's hateful. It's evil.
