Do we live in a Rape Culture?

Our legal system takes it very seriously.

"Rape culture" refers to men still thinking a woman is "asking for it" when she dresses the "wrong" way or is too drunk to say no clearly.

1. Good clarification on what rape culture means.

2. If you have to ask (OP) and you hint at or outright slander feminists and other men and women in your question, chances are you have a perception problem. It is sort of like asking why all those ignorant colored folks made such a big fuss about having to ride in the back of the bus, when we all know that is where the best seats are. Or, it is sort of like asking why those dumb Jews still moan about a few people being given "special" treatment for few years such long time ago in a country far, far away. I would humbly suggest you try to broaden your perspective. A starting place might be here: http://www.amazon.com/Split-Child-Priest-Catholic-Church/dp/0989656322/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1462446050&sr=1-1&keywords=split+by+mary+dispenza

Seriously. Please put aside my somewhat harsh words above and click the link. If you are willing to read this book it might be helpful. I think it might be helpful because you are going to be reading about the rape of a child. You may find a seven year old girl a more sympathetic figure than an adult woman, and in turn might be able to see rape from a different perspective.

3. I disagree about our legal system, but I confess I only worked around it for about 15 years. Still, I can tell you rapists and sex offenders often are not prosecuted at all, their victims are often treated poorly by the legal system, and when they are prosecuted and convicted the sentences that are imposed are generally very mild relative to other crimes.
