Do you think the #metoo movement is successful? What else can be done? en-us 2019-01-29 00:40:29 UTC 2020-01-27 04:37:06 UTC hello@padlet.com 1468693 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432921071 I believe that one way to help address the rape culture is to educate people about the different rape myths what people generally believe and to give people more perspective about rape. How to report it and who you can go to for more support.]]> 2020-01-17 14:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432921071 1715041 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432921343 One way to address the prevalence of rape and rape culture is to stop shaming the victim and encourage him/ her to come forward, and fixing the way the courts deal with rape. I think the me too movement was successful in that it raised more awareness about rape and sexual assault, but a failure in that even though more people are coming forward, rape culture and myths have remained the same, an many who report these things under the hashtags are shamed and accused of lying.]]> 2020-01-17 14:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432921343 1392017 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432922746 2020-01-17 14:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432922746 1455573 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432924495 I believe that addressing the rape culture can be best shown by women acknowledging its severeness and having them feel more comfortable reporting these problems regardless of what they may lose and the strings attached with it. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432924495 1475449 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432925359 I think that we can address rape culture by normalizing it more and making sure people are aware of how common it is and aren't as afraid to report it. I also think that courts should handle rape cases better, giving victims more options for testimonies so as to not force them into reliving it. Schools should raise awareness about rape culture and the frequency of it and provide students, both male and female, with safety tips and options. Rape kits should also be cheaper as victims already go through so much and should have options like that more accessible to them. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432925359 1433656 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432927021 I think that we definitely need to normalize the conversation of rape and sexual assault and educate everyone about these type of situations. Not only will this teach people to respect others and ask for consent, it will help victims, both males and females, feel more comfortable to share their story. These type of conversations should be required in school. I do think the #metoo movement has been successful in bringing more awareness to rape culture and normalize the conversation, however, there is still so much more we can do. Another important thing is to change how authorities label rape and the way they deal with rape kits and victims who speak out about their situation.]]> 2020-01-17 14:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432927021 1600782 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432928564 2020-01-17 14:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432928564 1477514 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432929522 i believe that the conversation needs to be continued about rape and rape culture, and we need to have a society that treats rape more seriously as a crime. as a society we have made massive steps in the past few years in spreading the word about rape, and making women feel safer to speak out. i would consider the me too movement to be successful, because those steps we have taken are largely because of it, and although we still have a long way to go, any improvement is a big thing.]]> 2020-01-17 14:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432929522 1473101 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432929952 I think that we need to be more open about rape and sexual assault because its very serious and many people have experienced some form of rape. I think we need to also educate people better because some people didn't even know what date rape was and so if we don't even know what it is how is it going to be reported? ]]> 2020-01-17 14:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432929952 1442702 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930225 I believe that society needs to normalize the conversations of rape and rape culture to bring more awareness to the issue. It is also important for schools to educate students about rape and help them feel more comfortable about reporting. I think that the #metoo movement has been successful, but there is still so much that can be done. For example, the number of rape kits actually being tested needs to be higher; this can provide evidence to convict a rapist and possibly prevent them from attacking someone else. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930225 1442027 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930940 2020-01-17 14:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930940 1577790 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930944 The society should think less that having to be involved in the actions of being raped is not a guilt. This way, the percentage of victims who are reporting will increase while the rapist decreases. #metoo movement had a great impact of rape culture in our society. This movement showed many victims that they were not alone in the situation and gave confidence to those who were hesitant. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432930944 1443412 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432931274 I think we should address rape culture by educating people on rape myths so that people stop believing them. This will help people to stop putting blame on the victim. Also, I think we as a society should stop saying rape jokes because that can make people think that raping someone is normal and even funny. It takes away from the severity of the actual issue. I think the #metoo movement has been successful in bringing awareness to the situation, but there is still the issue that people don't believe the victims and fear false accusations. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432931274 1440258 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432931972 I think we need to change the way people view rape, and educate people on rape myths. I believe the #metoo movement was successful, but it is less big now. We need to keep it going. As well stop putting the blame on the victim.]]> 2020-01-17 14:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432931972 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432933446 Rape culture should be addressed both by society, and by the law. There needs to be more belief for victims of a crime like this, especially one that can be so difficult to prove in a court, and laws need to change regarding statute of limitations and the sentencing of the people who commit these crimes. If stronger sentences are imposed, then it sends a message to boys/men that rape/sexual assault is not ok, and the culture around that can begin to change. ]]> 2020-01-17 14:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432933446 1451148 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432935707 I think that the way society view rape definitely needs to be changed. It needs to start with changing the definition of rape in the eyes of the government. But many of the problems are deep seeded socialization of men and women that will be extremely hard to change. As far as the #metoo movement, I think it is slightly successful. It is good that so many women felt comfortable and empowered enough to come forward about their rape. But on the down side, a lot of people have negative connotations associated with the #metoo movement because they think its an attack aganist men.]]> 2020-01-17 14:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432935707 1472968 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432935986 I think the view of rape should be changed and rapists should receive the death penalty.]]> 2020-01-17 14:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/432935986 1574023 https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/436246870 i believe that women should not at all feel ashamed to come and talk about this. it happens and it is very sad. we have to become more open about rape in today's society. we have to acknowledge that it is a real problem and it should be taken seriously. ]]> 2020-01-27 04:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eahadfield/cgkvvav3w2ff/wish/436246870
