I) Introduction: I go over the history of rape in America, looking at spikes and dips in the past. I then define "Rape Culture" and relate this information into real life. Then follow this information with my thesis statement.
a) The history and statistics of rape in the past.
i) Rape has always been a part of any type of society.
ii) Laws relating to rape and sexual violence have changed throughout different times.
(1) Judges in the 1920's changed their prospective of rape from non-consensual sex to examining how the women was dresses and how she acted instead of her words saying no. (Bindel)
b) I examine and define "Rape Culture" in the U.S.
i) Rape Culture is a broad term not widely used by the everyday person. The term is looked at with a stigma of feminist beliefs and this is because feminists are the only group know to fight it wholeheartedly.
ii) In the U.S. alone, 1 out of every 6 women have been raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetime. (RAINN)
iii) I give an example of a story about a girl who was assaulted them bullied on social media.
iii) I give an example of a story about a girl who was assaulted them bullied on social media.
c) Thesis Statement: One of the greatest things we can do as a society to decline the number of women sexually abused is become aware of what "Rape Culture" is and how we are taught from the time we can watch TV that not treating someone fairly because of how they are dressed is okay. "Rape Culture" has been looked at as something that isn't real. But based on television media, songs, and how women are treated today, it is completely clear that it is alive today.
II) History: I discuss the cause and effect of rape in the past. Going more in depth and creating a interest in the topic.
a) I give a main overview of rape and sexual abuse all around the world.
i) Different countries view this kind of abuse differently. The term is given different meaning and the laws are different.
ii) The statistics differ depending on place, laws, and cultural background.
b) Rape and war.
c) Sexualized ad campaigns
III) Many women and men are effected by rape in their lives.
a) I introduce the large topic of victims coming forward after their abuse and how that differences between men and women.
b) "Slut Shaming" is becoming a large part of today's society.
c) When a man is assaulted there are many things telling him not to come forward about his assault.
i) There are no real statistics about rape against men because of the gay stigmas surrounding them.
IV) "Rape Culture" as a whole is becoming more of a part of our society today.
a) "Rape Culture" is the society that we live in today. It is what tells the unthinking person that love is given not earned. This relates to treating women that the body is the only thing they have to offer the world and that is a man is taken advantage of that he is weak.
b) Music, movies and social media create a huge outlet to normalize this kind of behavior.
i) Today's media plays off sexist jokes and story's and making them age appropriate.
ii) Songs promoting date rape and sex when the other person may not be sober are becoming more and popular.
c) Submissive and Dominate relationships and when a line is crossed. While these types of relationships are not widely excepted by the public, there are some much more common relationship types were one person feels like they deserve sex even if their partner says no.
c) The effects of "Rape Culture" and how it is changing young people's mind about what is okay and what is not.
