The Myth We Live Inside
Have you ever noticed how we talk about rape as if it's weather-something that just happens? "She was raped." "A woman was sexually assaulted." The perpetrator vanishes from the sentence entirely, leaving only the victim and an invisible force. This linguistic sleight of hand reveals something profound about how we've constructed our understanding of sexual violence. Rape culture isn't just about individual bad actors or explicit misogyny. It's the water we swim in-invisible, omnipresent, and so normalized that even its victims sometimes can't see it clearly. Women internalize these patterns too, calling each other sluts, questioning survivors' stories, and perpetuating the myth that modest dress prevents assault. Female judges have described armed gang rapes as "theft of services." The problem isn't a few monsters lurking in alleys; it's an entire infrastructure of beliefs, institutions, and everyday behaviors that trivialize sexual assault while claiming to despise it.
