The White house recently said that in order to put an end to college campus rapes we must, “[changing] a culture of passivity and tolerance in this country, which too often allows this type of violence to persist.” RAINN (Rape, abuse, and incest national network) responded with the quote, "In the last few years, there has been an unfortunate trend towards
blaming “rape culture” for the extensive problem of sexual violence on
campus. While it is helpful to point out the systemic barriers to
addressing the problem, it is important not to lose sight of a simple
fact: Rape is caused not by cultural factors but by the conscious
decisions, of a small percentage of the community, to commit a violent
crime."
Basically, it has been a recent trend that rapes on college campuses are being blamed by the certain rape cultures that are presented in our society. However, at certain universities, many students are trying to eliminate such a rape culture. Boston University has taken it upon themselves to try and cancel a show that Robin Thicke was was going to perform his explicit, "blurred lines" song at. However, what this article is about is the fact that it is not certain song lyrics that turn men into rapists.
