본문내용
In October 2017, the New York Times reported multiple sexual misconduct allegations against a powerful Hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein. Soon after, over 80 women engaged in the film industry accused him of sexual assaults (Schneid). This scandal encouraged millions of women to share their own experiences of sexual abuse on social media, using the hashtag ‘MeToo’ (Sini). The sheer number of victims who spoke up as a result of the movement reminds us of the fact that sexual crimes are “largely hidden; extremely under-reported and often not recognized as crimes at all.” (Serisier). In the wake of a viral spread of the #MeToo movement, a question has been repeatedly raised: Why didn’t these women come forward sooner to report their sexual harassment?
Women’s reluctance to seek help or report these sexual violence stems from the fear of disbelief and shame following the confession (Renzetti). The fact is, the widespread rape myths including that “women provoke the rape” or “women frequently lie about the rape” (Benedict) contribute to the female rape victim’s refusal to speak out publicly about their crimes. These common misperceptions are closely associated with the behaviors of rape culture such as victim blaming, slut-shaming, tolerance of sexual violence, and sexual objectification (“Rape Culture”). Rape culture is a term coined by American feminists in 1970s, referring to “the various ways in which Western societies normalize, deny and excuse sexual violence against women.” (Serisier).
Rape culture in the United States has been perpetuated most significantly by media and popular culture (Serisier). According to Sarah Projansky, the writer of a book ‘Watching Rape’, rape is frequently depicted in American media and the ubiquity of those depictions normalize the rape culture in American society (Projansky, 231). Accordingly, the pervasive rape culture which normalizes and accepts the sexual violence frequently affects the jury’s decision making in sexual assault trials (Groscup). Oftentimes, criminal justice professionals blame the rape victim or question the credibility of women by asking their sexual history. As evidenced by the fact that 1 out of 6 women has experienced an attempted or completed rape, sexual violence remains rampant in the United States (Wise). Therefore, in light of the problematic links between the media, rape culture and American judicial system, this essay will analyze how the series 13 Reasons Why shapes the way people think about sexual violence in the United States.
