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.

You're minimizing the actual definition of Rape Culture to an event that proponents claim is indicative of rape culture to make your point.

For those that are actually interested in discussing it as a concept: Here's the definition straight out of Wikipedia.



"..rape culture is a setting in which rape is normalized due to societal attitudes towards gender and sexuality. Behaviours commonely associated with rape culture is objectification, trivalisizing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm cause by rape, or some combinations of all listed behaviours."


I love how denial of widespread rape is evidence of rape culture. Talk about a catch-22.
