The Power of Cinema: Rectifying Injustice

[ochatomiruku]

I just read about the re-vamped South Korean legislation on rape of minors and people with disabilities. I don't know much about Korean law, but from what I've read, this law has been overripe in its coming. Rapist were getting away with sentences far too light, and victims were afraid to come forth because of that entrenched culture of self-blame

I'm glad that this movie came out and that Koreans are responding to it. I hate when people blame the fault on the rape victims... T___T

Yes, I know. I had a frustrating conversation with my dad on this the other day. Sure, there are a lot of young ladies who probably could do with more coverage, but my dad was insinuating that if you dress a certain way and something happens to you, you had it coming. I hate that.

Guys do not understand. Just because a girl wears short dress, it does NOT give a guy the right to rape her. But guys rape people that don't even dress like that! They would do it to anyone!
