America and Its Culture of Rape

12/10/2017

On this episode of the Freedom Train Podcast Series we delved deep into the American culture of rape. Host Joseph Ward does his best to examine the culture of rape from its genesis to now; why is rape still so prevalent in the year 2017? The discussion centered around the way rape was used in the founding of America, the breaking of the black male slaves, and how the rates of increased rape are directly related to war. We believe as long as we see rape and rape culture as a male issue, we are overlooking a section of the population who were also socialized within the culture of rape. Yes, men make up the largest number of perpetrators, but the culture of rape could not exist without buy in from both men and women. We do our best to examine the culture and hopefully help create a lane for dialog about rape culture, and a drastic culture change within our communities. Tune in!!!!
