Results from a survey conducted by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety have been released.
A few key points from the findings:
– 1 in 7 young Australians think a man can force a woman to have sex if she initiated the interaction but then changed her mind
– 1 in 4 believe that ‘revenge porn’ is the fault of the women who took the photo, rather than the person who shared it without consent
– 1 in 3 young men believed ‘many’ women who claim to have been raped had consensual sex and later regretted it.

Are you surprised by these results? What do you think has to change about our attitudes, culture or the way we talk about sex and relationships for these attitudes to change?
