Personal Experiences with Rape Culture

Kellene Bishop | Doomsday Prepper

She teaches a rape prevention class, because as society falls apart, women are often the first victims. She also cooked a huge gourmet meal—deviled eggs, four-cheese Italian risotto, pork roast with pear butter barbecue sauce—from her long-term food pantry for her friends and neighbors (all of whom prep in one form or another). She told me that she plans to do the same and help feed others if the world comes to an end [x]

Ok so I love watching this show when I am high because it is just so strange most of the time. But this segement was one of two I’ve seen that actually made me feel really good about people and who would survive in the case of a huge disaster.

We live in a world where “rape prevention” classes only involve teaching women to subdue male attackers (because 97% of rapes and assaults are committed by men regardless of the sex or gender of the victims), not educating people everywhere that it is not ok to violate people’s consent under ANY circumstances EVER and what consent actually means.  This is rape culture.
