Alison Kunh a writer for the Iris Magazine for thinking young women wrote a an article about the role that media plays in shaping today's rape culture. Kunh discusses how the media is portraying victim blaming. Many victims get asked what they were wearing and if they had drank before the incident as if that makes it okay. Kuhn mentions that "people start to believe that perhaps women are at fault in cases of their own rape" (Kuhn,2014). Because people believe that the victims are at fault, they do not receive any support. The victims often don't speak up because everyone else seems to just dismiss the issue.
