How ‘Slut Shaming’ Has Been Written Into School Dress Codes Across The Country
“When most Americans think about “rape culture,” they may think about the victim-blaming attitudes that led the Steubenville boys’ defense to argue that an unconscious girl consented to her sexual assault because she “didn’t say no,” the school administrators who choose to protect their star athletes over those boys’ rape victims, or the bullying that resulted in multiple victims of sexual assault taking their own lives. While those incidences are certainly symptoms of a deeply-rooted rape culture in this country, they’re not the only type of example of this dynamic at play. Rape culture is also evident in the attitudes that lead school administrators to treat young girls’ bodies as inherently “distracting” to the boys who simply can’t control themselves. That approach to gender roles simply encourages our youth to assume that sexual crimes must have something to do with women’s “suggestive” clothes or behavior, rather than teaching them that every individual is responsible for respecting others’ bodily autonomy.”

As it stands now, yes. Hold fast, but not to your inexperience, rather, to your sovereignty.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month!!!
Thus far, my sorors and I have been working hard to spread the word, from our “Teal Tuesdays” (teal is the official color for the commemorative month), to sharing statistics and facts with the student body, to our whiteboard campaign. It was great to see my peers willingly join in and express themselves, as we worked to raise awareness about SAAM. :)
This is just a few of the MANY photos we have taken, posted, and shared…and from what I’ve been informed, our movement has been picked up by the Deltas and our sorors at Bethune-Cookman University, as well.
Service…gotta love it!
Heartening to see this in a college setting!

A few shots from the opening of Tatyana Fazlalizadeh’s Stop Telling Women to Smile exhibit at Fresthetic in Brooklyn. The exhibit runs until mid-May.
Loving this.
