I don't think that most men actively think this way, but it is the way we have been conditioned to think for these types of things for generations. It's why it's said it is a rape culture, because it is so engrained in our culture we are not doing it actively/consciously, but it comes up in our language regarding sexual assault more times than not.

While I'm sure there are people that bring up those questions, I don't believe it's that large a number. Certainly not enough to classify any segment of society as having or perpetuating a "rape culture."
