In April 2016, the #Endrapeculture protests spread across South African university campuses. These protests raised awareness of university policies regarding rape and sexual assault cases on campus. The protesters accused the university management of perpetuating a rape culture through policies which reinforced victim-blaming and protected perpetrators of sexual assault. Through the use of hashtag campaigns and public demonstrations, the movement quickly gained momentum across social and mainstream media. This momentum served to put pressure on university administrations to be accountable for cases of sexual assault on campuses. Movements calling out universities for perpetuating a rape culture are not unique to South Africa; as similar movements have been initiated at other university campuses across the globe. This article examines the rape culture discourse that emerged on Facebook following the #Endrapeculture protests. Specifically, we look at how people perceived rape culture and the role of university management in handling sexual assault. Naturalistic observation was used on comments from public posts and articles from Facebook relating to the 2016 #Endrapeculture protest. These comments were subjected to qualitative content analysis. Two main themes are discussed in this article: Rape/Rape Culture and The Role of Universities and Law Enforcement . Many commenters indicated that cases of rape and sexual assault should be addressed by law enforcement and should not be handled by university management. We argue that rape culture education should be formalised in South Africa.

“大学与它有什么关系?”:对校园中强奸文化的看法以及大学当局的作用

2016年4月,#Endrapeculture抗议活动席卷了南非大学校园。这些抗议活动提高了人们对大学有关校园强奸和性侵犯案件的政策的认识。抗议者指责大学管理部门通过加强强奸受害者,保护性侵犯肇事者的政策,使强奸文化永存。通过使用主题标签运动和公众示威,该运动迅速在社交媒体和主流媒体中获得发展。这种势头给大学行政管理部门施加了压力,要求他们对校园内的性侵犯案件负责。呼吁大学延续强奸文化的运动并非南非独有。在全球其他大学校园也发起了类似的运动。本文考察了#Endrapeculture抗议之后在Facebook上出现的强奸文化言论。具体而言,我们研究人们如何看待强奸文化以及大学管理机构在处理性侵犯方面的作用。在公开帖子的评论和Facebook上与2016年#Endrapeculture抗议有关的文章中使用了自然主义的观察。对这些评论进行了定性内容分析。本文讨论了两个主要主题:强奸/强奸文化和大学与执法的作用。许多评论者指出,强奸和性侵犯案件应由执法部门处理,大学管理部门不应处理。我们认为,强奸文化教育应在南非正规化。
