Why I, as a rape survivor and feminist, adore Law and Order SVU
- Answer to “I guess I asked for this” is always “No one asks to get raped”
- Benson and Stapler shut down slut shamers instantly, and explain why they’re wrong and assholes.
- Show accepts that men* can be raped
- Show accepts that women* can rape men*
- Show accepts that gender and sexuality are not bianary
- Show is pro-choice, in regards to sex, life choices and abortion
- Show is pretty damn egalitarian, in regards to Benson v. Stapler’s in work
- Main characters let prostitutes alone, but give them access to victim’s services and treat them like human beings
- Show recognizes that women* can be serial killers
TL;DR: This show is beautiful and I love it
