[Content Note: Rape culture; sexual violence; misogyny; exploitation; dehumanization.]
Jessica Luther has a great piece in The Atlantic today about misogyny, exploitation, and rape culture in college football. I'm not even going to excerpt it; just go read the whole thing.
(And by way of full disclosure, I'm quoted in it, but that is not the reason I'm recommending it. I'm recommending it because IT IS TERRIFIC!)
