Facebook: Make it a violation on Facebook to post anything promoting rape.

The Issue

"In a rape culture, people are surrounded with images, language, laws, and other everyday phenomena that validate and perpetuate rape. Rape culture includes jokes, TV, music, advertising, legal jargon, laws, words and imagery, that make violence against women and sexual coercion seem so normal that people believe that rape is inevitable. Rather than viewing the culture of rape as a problem to change, people in a rape culture think about the persistence of rape as 'just the way things are.'" ~ www.upsettingrapeculture.com

We must no longer tolerate rape culture. Facebook should not allow memes which portray rape as a joke. It is NOT funny.
