"Rape is the only thing that’s both a weapon of war and offered up for a sure-fire laugh at a comedy club. When rape is framed by accused perpetrators as either a 'misunderstanding' or an 'outright lie,' their assertions are often enough for most people to nod their heads in agreement. As such, rape and sexual abuse are not taken seriously by many of our most important institutions. It is not by chance that the victims of this violent felony are mostly women, children and individuals from marginalized populations."

"How do we make sense of a world that disregards sexual violence?"
