Dear Rapists,

I know it's hard to believe that what you did is wrong. I understand that you may have been intoxicated at the time of your crime, or maybe you felt like you deserved something. However, these are no excuses. Let me break down some thing about rape for you real quick.

Rape: it’s a four-letter word.

Rape: it’s an unlawful sexual activity.

Rape: it happened without consent.

Rape: it changes people.

Rape is juggled around in today’s society as one of the issues of lesser importance. Yet one in five women experience this traumatic event. Even worse, almost ninety-seven percent rapists face no jail time. And even when they do, it’s typically less time than drug dealers. Brock Turner, you may have got out of jail in three months, even though you were sentenced for sixteen years, and the media may keep highlighting you as a former Stanford swimmer, but you are not any of those things, you are a rapist. You are someone that ruined a life. And although the media has plastered your face everywhere, this isn’t just about you. Your life may be forever ruined, but the hundreds of thousands of other rapist’s who live on in freedom with no one ever knowing, you all are the people who deserve a lovely trip to the underworld. I hope karma kicks you in the butt.

One last thing, society needs to stop blaming the victim as if getting raped was there fault. This is why nearly fifty-four percent of rape cases go unreported. So if we could do that, we would appreciate it greatly.

Sincerely,

The Victims & The People With A Conscience

P.S. If I have learned anything in college, it is about consent. But if you can't understand the term consent in regards to sex, here is a video to consent in regards to tea.
