Classic case fro Vanderbilt just 2 years ago.  a bunch of football players are running a train on some girl and instead of trying to keep it a secret they actually send photos to their friends.

People can preach all they want about how "men already know it is wrong to rape", but they are just ignoring reality.  Cases like the Vanderbilt rape prove they are wrong.  Rapist don't send pictures to their friends unless there is something in our society that makes them believe it is cool.

Yes, that's horrible. But to say there's a rape culture because someone sent pictures to other people of their crime doesn't mean there's a rape culture. There are people who murder people and send it to snapchat, and that' doesn't mean there's a murder culture.
