Rape. Actions speak louder than words, or do they?

A while back I was listening to the radio when a song said a woman was raped, and it wasn't a crude rap song being all 'I'm gonna rape everyone you love' and yet it blanked out the word 'rape', rape is very real, and it happens to women and men everyday and maybe we should be doing more to prevent it and get convictions when it does happen, instead of ignoring it and blanking it out. How are we supposed to talk about it, how are we supposed to teach our children about it if we can't even say it? Rape. It's not Beetlejuice. If you say it three times it's not going to appear out of nowhere. We all need to be educated on rape and how to prevent it, and also, what sort of behaviour is, if not rape, is sexually threatening and unacceptable. No means no, and an absence of a no, is definitely not a yes. Also if someone is wasted, that's not a yes either. I leave you in the capable hands of Laci Green to find out more:



Stay safe. Make good choices,
