In honor of the new definition


The FBI (finally) changed the 85 YEAR OLD definition of rape. I posted this picture in honor of the new, more inclusive definition which states:

"Rape is penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."

This picture, with the improved definition, is a more inclusive representation what rape is in our culture today. Hopefully increased awareness such as this and the revised definition will help lead to better education, less sexual assaults and more scum bags behind bars!

This is a victory for all humankind.

  1. It is great that the definition finally changed. This is the first time I've seen these awareness ads - thank you for sharing.

  2. That is much better than it use to be but I still have one issue with it. Oral rape isn't just, "oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." Someone can be orally rapped just as easily without their consent with the use of a sex toy. It's no less of a violation and no less degrading and humiliating just because it isn't a REAL body part.
