A Letter to my 16 Year-Old Brother

A Letter to my 16 Year-Old Brother

Feminism, Rape, Racism, Sexism, Consent

In this letter, the author writes to her younger brother, a "white, male, able-bodied, financially secure and straight" person. She urges him to acknowledge the incredible privilege that this affords him and for him to think more before he makes rape jokes. She details her own experiences growing up in American rape culture and tries to get her brother to sympathize with her and other women and men's experiences with it as well. Along with the text there are several images such as a picture of a well dressed young man, potentially her brother, and a picture of a button with the words "End Rape" written on it.
