Today is another classic: 10% of students in one of my classes think than any of the following can be an excuse for rape: a. Previous sexual encounter b. Victim knows person c. Sexy clothing choices.

Jeepers.

Yes. Which means that at least 2 people who are going to be teachers will treat rape this way. Totally brill.

But sexism only exists in Afghanistan.

Today one of my colleagues told me that he doesn't like raspberries because he's "not a woman." He was mostly serious, too.

Totally unsurprising, because bodily autonomy isn't allowed for women. Or for kids (like your school example, JMo), which is probably where a lot of these beliefs that "it's not really bad/rape if..." are formed.
