Some further examples of rape myths

- Rape is a crime of passion

Implications:

assumes that rape is impulsive and unplanned; assumes men to be incapable of delaying gratification or controlling sexual

urges; assumes that rape is about uncontrollable lust; attempts to excuse, minimise and romanticise rape; assumes that only 'attractive' women are raped; disregards elements of power, aggression, violence, control and humiliation in rape; and attempts to remove the responsibility for the rape from the rapist.

Facts:

research and evidence from rapists themselves suggests that most rapes are premeditated and planned; many rapists fail to get an erection or ejaculate;

interviews with rapists reveal that they rape to feel powerful and in control, not for sexual pleasure; there is no typical victim of rape. Girls and boys and women and men of all ages can be victims; and

many rapists are involved in sexually satisfying relationships with their partners at the time of the rape.

- You can tell if she's 'really' been raped by how she a cts Implications: disbelieves and re-traumatises the victim; invalidates the victims experience and individuality; and discourages her or him from seeking help. Facts: reactions to rape are highly varied and individual; and

many women experience a form of shock after a rape that leaves them emotionally numb or flat - and apparently calm. Male victims can exhibit a

similar reaction. - Prostitutes cannot be raped Implications: further disempowers sex workers; and provides an excuse for abuse

Facts:

prostitutes have the same rights with regards to consent as anyone else: the transactions they negotiate with clients are for consensual activities, not rape. The law does not distinguish between prostitutes who are raped and victims who are not prostitutes. - If the victim didn't complain immediately it wasn't rape

Implications:

disbelieves and re-traumatises the victim; invalidates the experience of the victim; and discourages her or him from seeking help.

Facts:

the trauma of rape can cause feelings of embarrassment, shame and guilt which might inhibit a victim from making a complaint. There are many other reasons for delayed reporting, too. For example, a victim might delay because she or he may seek support from someone she trusts such as a friend or family member before reporting. *This text has been slightly revised and is taken from the Crown Prosecution Service web site:quotesdbs_dbs47.pdfusesText_47
