Call Me FSU

sexual violence has nothing to do with the victim’s actions.

The only thing that leads to sexual assault, is the assaultor themselves.

Things Not To Say To Someone Who's Been Sexually Assaulted Nobody should have to experience sexual assault. For those that have, they say talking about the subject opens up a host of myths, misconceptions and assump...

Our Call Me FSU pledge: “I will always call out sexual harassment and r**e culture when I am a witness. I will fight against this on my college campus.” If you accept this pledge please like, and leave a comment below.

Things we wish we told our younger selves: Don’t be afraid to speak up for what’s right. You just might change the world.

Throughout most of history, r**e was not viewed as a crime because women were considered property, and therefore, without rights. Like taking land, men took women as an act of aggression; an affirmation of their strength and masculinity. In most cultures, marriages were arranged when the groom purchased the bride from her father. R**e was initially considered a crime only in terms of the property violation of another man. Punishment was delivered to a man who damaged the husband’s property- his wife - by r**e. Very often the r**ed woman would would also be punished as an adulteress, regardless of her lack of complicity in the assault . For instance, ancient Hebrew women who were r**ed were considered defiled, and stoned to death.

Don’t be afraid to end uncomfortable situations at the risk of hurting someone’s feelings. Your feelings are just as important and valid.

Green light here. Your emotions are welcome here.

If someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, follow these steps in order to appropriately be there for them. It’s important to not pressure them to talk about it if they aren’t ready, just be there for them when they are.
