Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "rape myth" refers to false beliefs about rape that are widely held and perpetuated within a society. These myths are learned through culture, meaning they are transmitted through socialization, media, and language. There is no evidence to suggest that rape myths are biologically transferred, extricated from culture, or mandated by any particular authority.
