By holding rape myths, people are able to deny or minimize the reality of sexually aggressive behavior.
Rape is about sex.
Rape is about power. A woman who goes to the home or the apartment of their date implies that she is willing to have sex. Consent for sexual contact is not defined by one's willingness to enter an apartment or home of a date. There are no specific racial, ethnic, or socio-economic factors that predispose a person to rape victimization. Any healthy woman can defend herself from a rapist.
