Join me as I conclude my last assignment of college ever. A daunting thought, but also one that lingers with endless possibilities. I have learned many things in my college career, but the most important thing I can take away from these four years is free thought. I was able to explore myself along with the many classes I took, and I as inched closer to my graduation, I became more willing and able to explore my mind. I wanted to learn about people and understand their nuances which brought me to take a Masculinities class in my last semester of college (this blog taught me that I knew nothing about men). Unfortunately, attending college also opened my eyes to how common sexual violence is and how deep-rooted rape culture is in American society. While I may not have all the answers at this young age of 22, this episode is certainly my jumpstart in attempting to understand sexual violence from a sociological perspective. Please be aware that I discuss very heavy topics and triggering issues about sexual violence, rape, and domestic abuse so please be mindful if those topics are especially triggering. Thank you.
