Rape - Whose Fault Is It?

I would advise you to do the research on rape in the US and the causes.

The society we live in has women portrayed as sex objects for men, in most cases. Rape is a gendered crime. The majority of victims are females, the majority of rapists are men. Rape in the U. S. is regulated not prohibited. Men are not punished for rape and women are not encouraged to resist rapists. Although there are laws against rape rarely are perpetrators charged or convicted. According to a national survey, the Rape in America study, only 16% of rapes are reported to police.

What does this teach? That rape is the norm. Well, boys are doing the raping because society is basically saying it's okay. We have socialized sexual aggression!
