Teach rapists not to rape, instead of teaching victims how to prevent it.

I'm just gonna say it. Rape, there I said it. 

That taboo subject that nobody wants to talk about.  It's happening, and we need to make talking about it more of a main focus in society.
Today a judge ruled that Kesha, a popular artist will not be released from her contract with and must continue to work with producer, Dr Luke who allegedly drugged and raped her. It is reported that the judge told Kesha that her record label would suffer 'irreparable harm' if she didn't continue to produce albums with her alleged-ed rapist. Kesha never filed rape charges against Dr Luke, 14 years older than the 28 year old pop star. 
Due to her celebrity status we are all talking about this because she is famous, but what about all of those who are forced to live, work, attend school with the one who terrifies them most? How is this okay? I don't know if/how talking about it on social media is going to help but I certainly know not talking about it is how this crap is allowed to stay legal in the first place. It's time to be loud. 

Another celebrity who's battle with rape struck a cord with me is Chrissie Hynde who was raped when she was 21 by a member of a motorcycle gang in Ohio who, after offering her a ride to a party, took her to an empty house and assaulted her. Chrissie Hynde openly declared on an ITV daytime TV program that she believed the assault was her 'own doing'.
“If I’m walking around in my underwear and I’m drunk? Who else’s fault can it be?” Hynde says. “If I’m walking around and I’m very modestly dressed and I’m keeping to myself and someone attacks me, then I’d say that’s his fault. But if I’m being very lairy and putting it about and being provocative, then you are enticing someone who’s already unhinged — don’t do that. Come on! That’s just common sense. You know, if you don’t want to entice a rapist, don’t wear high heels so you can’t run from him.”

This could be one of the most damaging things I've ever heard. I don't think you can ever protect yourself from someone who intends to sexually abuse you, not through your clothes, not through sobriety and not through your footwear!! This sends a message to rape victims and it says that if a celebrity takes responsibility for what happened to her and sees why it happened, that they should too. How are we ever going to stop people blaming rape victims and teaching victims how not to be raped instead of teaching rapists not to rape if we have authoritative public figures who some people value sending messages like this?
