Rape culture and frats in popular culture

Hi Aly!

Thank you for your contribution, I think you've done a great job at discussing the way rape culture manifests and is often promoted in fraternities. You've done a great job with taking an intersectional lens to the subject as well. Your mention of the Brock Turner case was a very good example of how rape culture perpetuates particularly for white fraternity members.

One topic that I think would be a great addition to your Wiki entry is media and popular culture representations of rape culture in fraternities. For example, many very popular films from the '70s such as Animal House and the National Lampoon series heavily idealized fraternities that were heavily entrenched in rape culture. I know that when I was in first year university, many of the men I lived in residence with loved those films and looked up to those characters. In reality though, the films promoted facets of toxic masculinity like binge drinking, as well as rape culture through objectification of women and "hooking up" with women too intoxicated to give consent. It might be interesting to look at the impact that can have, and the use of movie stills would add some visual appeal to your entry.
