Rape culture is hard to define. Buzzfeed has tried to tackle it, The Atlantic has written about it, and numerous feminist blogs attempt to define this particular topic.

For Bhaswati Chattopadhyay, the Robin Thicke show at Agganis Arena is a classic example of rape culture at work. She’s a member of Humanists of Boston University, which organized the petition and protest against the show tonight. The BU Administration has no control over the acts that play Agganis Arena. The protest begins at 5:30 tonight, March 4.
