MI wrote NO Means NO because rape culture has taken over our environment by which rape has become prevalent. Sexual violence has become normalized and excused in the media and popular culture. Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety.
NO MEANS NO
The dark side of Dominance and Masochism
Matthew Blackwell was drenched in dominance and masochism. He smiled as he stirred Haley’s drink, spiked with enough ketamine to render her unconscious, hoping to have sex his way. He thought of Haley as no more than the girl who would offer him a night to remember; his send off party of one before university. At no time did he consider that he could go to jail. Matthew was drenched in masculine toxicity, and had a hidden hostility to femininity. Money became his power. He wielded both. Matthew got what he wanted, when he wanted it, and felt that he could do as he pleased where it came to women. Always at Matthew’s side was his good friend, Ryan Crowe. Matthew had the financial means and Ryan had the connections. If Matthew asked, Ryan complied. What Ryan did not know was that Matthew had a dark secret.
Rape culture is a real and salient force in today’s society. The term ‘rape’ has been relabelled as sexual violence – clearly defining any and all unwanted sexual activity. All too many women don’t report such incidents – primarily because too few perpetrators are punished – further feeding the problem. RAPE is an ever-growing concern that must be addressed and recognized for what it is: a criminal offense. The BDSM subculture once operated underground. In modern society it has begun to enter the mainstream, and typically goes unnoticed.
