Sexual violence is something we need to talk about—not just when it makes the news, but all year long. One of the ways we can make a difference is by learning more, supporting survivors, and supporting the organizations doing this work every day. That’s why I’m asking you to do two things:

God I’m tired of rapist jokes. RAPE IS NOT A JOKE, It is a fucking tragic horror that women live with every damn day. Stop making light of an extremely serious situation, maybe talk to the men in your life instead of making inappropriate humour.
