Yoga Pants

This is the article I was talking about the other day in class!

After re-reading this article and watching the video, I did a little bit of research. I discovered that this is a major issue amongst many high schools around the country. I feel its ridiculous that adults are blaming men for “not being able to control themselves”, and women for “dressing provocatively.” I know this is on a much smaller scale, but stories like this are still a reason for rape culture today. Instead of understanding the victim, and simply stating that rape is not ok, we spend our time analyzing the situation in order to find a reason why it may have been the woman’s fault. What else would you expect when you are starting this belief from such a young age?
