25 WAYS YOU CAN STOP PERPETUATING RAPE CULTURE

25 WAYS YOU CAN STOP PERPETUATING RAPE CULTURE:
1. Don't say rape jokes. They aren't funny.
2. Speaking out for and being a support system for survivors. 
3. Not listening to music like "Blurred Lines"
4. Not saying that that physics test just raped you. 
5. Not slapping a stranger's butt in the hallway/quad/street/etc.
6. Not yelling that a girl has a "Nice rack" or "Nice ass" in public.
7. Supporting television shows that don't use sexual assault to move along a character's plot but for entertainment. I.E. Game of Thrones.
8. Believe those who speak out.
9. Don't shame those for wearing what makes them feel comfortable.  10. Acknowledge that this could happen to you.
11. Don't cat call.
12. Block meninist on twitter. 
13. Don't substitute the word "sex" for "rape"
14. Knowing that forced oral sex and penetration of any form are all still RAPE.
15. DO NOT defend athletes or celebrities that have been charged with rape or call their survivors "Career ruiners"
16. Do not laugh at signs like "No means yes and yes means anal."
17. Support those and consider doing the same that walk around with mace and rape whistles. 
18. Do not use terminology like "Don't get raped."
19. Do not shy away from survivors who tell you their stories.
20. DO NOT SUPPORT THAT RAPE IS SOMETHING "GOD INTENDED TO HAPPEN."
21. Don't sympathize for the rapist.

23. Embrace those who are courageous enough to share their story and applaud them for that.
24. Be aware of the alarming statistics of sexual assault.
25. WORK TO HELP END VICTIM BLAMING AND SLUT SHAMMING.
