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.

I was disagreeing that we have a rape culture as defined in the above post but that we still have a rape culture of men who want to make excuses for rape.  I've never said anything different.  Nothing is this thread has disproved it.

Men have advantages in some respects; women have advantages in some respect.

Not even going to get into your "People saying there isn't a rape culture=rape culture" is just you begging the question.

See above....and learn to read and comprehend.  

But I was responding to this:

Instead of girls doing the walk of shame and that being a deterrent to their actions.... Now if there is any walk of shame moment then they can just claim rape and at least hassle a guy long enough to matter in his personal life.

Which is exactly what I was talking about in my very first response.  Men who still think women just make it up because they are "ashamed".  And that its almost too hard to get proper consent to have sex.

So women aren't feminists?

Well it is revelant if you want to say you understand the law and court cases  better than someone who might actually have studied it.

Not that you couldn't have a great grasp of it but you have only cited your one jury experience thus far while speaking as if you had a greater knowledge of the law.
