- So much was problematic with CeeLo's recent rape remarks. How do you define rape culture? #ELIXHERTalk
- Due to the triggering nature of tonight's #ELIXHERTalk topic, we won't be retweeting responses. Please follow along & chime in w/ hashtag.
@ELIXHERMagazine Rape culture to me is a culture in which sexual violence is considered the norm. #ELIXHERtalk- @ELIXHERMagazine rape culture is also very heteronormative... People don't discuss it as it pertains to the LGBT community #ELIXHERtalk
- What everyday cultural practices do we engage in as individuals & as a society that excuse or tolerate sexual violence? #ELIXHERTalk
- Very true. @_boi_unicorn We definitely plan to unpack this in a bit. #ELIXHERTalk
- PREACH. @dopegirlfresh So how do we hold ppl who perpetuate rape culture or commit sexual assualt accountable? #ELIXHERTalk
- @ELIXHERMagazine A2.People not being held responsible for their actions. Privileged folks getting off with a slap on the wrist. #ELIXHERtalk
- A2: When celebs are told they shouldn't have saved naked pics on their comp if they don't want naked pics hacked & leaked. #ELIXHERTalk
- A2: When women face strt harassmnt & are told they shouldn't dress that way if they don't want it/should accept as compliment. #ELIXHERTalk
- What constitutes consent? And why do folks continue to get it twisted? #ELIXHERTalk
- Great point about community responses vs. police @dopegirlfresh #ELIXHERTalk
