Rape Culture in the United States
I think that there is a lot of things wrong with the way rape is handled and talked about in our country. I feel like the line is just too thin right now on what determines rape in our society today, and a more organized and logical way to handle rape in our country needs to be developed. It seems like all we constantly hear these days is either about a crazy girl accusing a guy of raping her to ruin his life or we hear about someone that says they were raped but nobody will take them seriously or help them. I think it is messed up how fine this line is, where any girl can accuse a guy of rape if they are angry at them or anything. However, I also think it is messed up if when someone claims they were raped, they don't get any support or people don't believe them. I think we need to find a way to correctly be able to determine what counts as rape, and find a consistent punishment for the actions. This is really hard to do because for the most part these things happen in private, but I think the issue needs to be taken more serious and we need to take steps to be able to figure out both of these different problems that involve rape.

I agree, the stigma with rape needs to be changed before we see a difference in how authority members react to such accusations.
