"We are outraged when an Indian police officer tells a rape victim she should marry her attacker but not when a California judge says a woman wasn’t really raped because she didn’t put up enough of a fight. We are outraged at 24,000 rapes in India but not 188,380 in America."

I really recommend reading the entire article. Trigger warning for discussion of rape and rape culture - it’s a tough article but very important.
