Editing Me and a Gun (section)

==Effect on rape myths==
The lyrics of Me and a Gun address the [[Rape myth#Common rape myths|rape myth]] where some people believe that a woman who dresses in revealing clothes is somehow responsible for her rape. Amos acknowledges wearing a revealing red top and challenges her rapist with the question of whether this made him think she deserved to be raped. A survey of thousands of Amos listeners revealed that only about 6% of the Amos listeners believed this myth as compared to 26% of the general population. This was the rape myth most rejected by Amos listeners, but the survey went on to analyze the attitudes of Amos listeners to other rape myths as well. All rape myths were rejected more strongly--to varying degrees--by Amos listeners than by the general population.<ref name="lse-myth">{{cite thesis |last=Finding |first=Deborah |date=October 2009 |title='Give me myself again': Sexual violence narratives in popular music |type=PhD |chapter=Rape myth acceptance in Tori Amos listeners |publisher=[[London School of Economics]] |url=http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2761/1/U615710.pdf |access-date=August 12, 2021}}</ref>
