資料:Rape Culture
A rape culture is a complex of beliefs that encourages male sexual aggression and supports violence against women. It is a society where violence is seen as sexy and sexuality as violent. In a rape culture, women perceive a continuum of threatened violence that ranges from sexual remarks to sexual touching to rape itself. A rape culture condones physical and emotional terrorism against women as the norm.
In a rape culture both men and women assume that sexual violence is a fact of life, inevitable as death or taxes. This violence, however, is neither biologically nor divinely ordained. Much of what we accept as inevitable is in fact the expression of values and attitudes that can change.

對於許多人來說,男女平等似乎仍舊是個非常難以掌握的概念。
上海地鐵的告示基本上相當於那位加拿大警員說的話,大意就是:性騷擾,強奸等等對於女性的暴力,起因是女性的穿著。這是典型的責怪被害者的心態。所以引起了環球各地的男女老少上街遊行,所謂“slutwalk”--“蕩婦”其實是反話反說。類似於當年英國軍隊用“揚基杜德”(美國土老冒)來嘲笑美國著裝不齊的軍隊,可是美國佬卻拿來我用,索性自稱“揚基杜德”,大有我是流氓我怕誰的氣勢;以致如今“揚基杜德”都唱成了愛國歌曲了。
上海女性用“我可以騷,你不能擾”的口號,實際上是“蕩婦遊行”的中國體。她們穿著清涼,實際上是在表達一個看法,make a statement.這個看法就是,用女性的衣裝來做借口,為對於女性的暴力(性騷擾和強奸等等)來開脫罪責,是行不通的。性騷擾是犯罪,與女性的任何著裝方式都沒有關係,而與信奉男尊女卑的rape culture有關。你不能拿女性的衣著作為性騷擾的理由和借口,而把性騷擾的罪行起因怪罪到受害人身上。
