Nonexistent Rape Culture

[Brian_1349]

In sum: young, drunk, late at night, in a sketchy place like the terminal and with his ass in the air… and not I, nor any of the women who passed by this spectacle, raped him or killed him.

Rape culture is a concept within feminist theory in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality.

Getting tired of all this crap. There is no rape culture in the US. It simply doesn't not exist.
Imagine a group of activists that blames black people or religious minorities exclusively. It would be called fascism, racism, bigotry or whatever. For some reason though attacking white males all together is perfectly OK. How many rapes are committed in the US annually? I believe around 15000. Literally nothing compared to 320 million Americans. We have to address the problem but we have to protect innocent people from feminazi attacks.

"According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, 1 in 6 U.S. women and 1 in 33 U.S. men has experienced an attempted or completed rape in her or his lifetime. A 2007 study by the National Institute of Justice found that 19.0% of college women and 6.1% of college men experienced either rape or attempted rape since entering college."

Even if these statistics are not entirely accurate, they indicate something is amiss.

The problem of sexual violence exists and I admit it. Rape culture is something absolutely different though.
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, which is much more credible source in my eyes than feminists community, believes the concept of rape culture is overemphasized. There is no need to blame everyone for the sins of few.

There is something seriously wrong with how males are educated and how their egos, energies and orientations are not creatively channeled enough. We must find better ways for boys to become men, real men, thinking, feeling, conscious men.
Perhaps certain aspects of this problem are overplayed, but, as it stands presently, there is too much acceptance of how things are.

No, they don’t unless you have accurate data.
Much of this data is completely unreliable.

There is no 'rape' culture here and it is not acceptable within society. The thing that needs to be dealt with in rape cases is not that we have an accepting culture of rape but that rape is difficult to prosecute because evidence can get wiped out very easily and people are hesitant to report.

There is a fascinating denial of reality that occupies the conservative mind today. If something is an unpleasant reality it must not exist. Evil may be discussed, but when it comes to behaviors that fail to coincide with a particular mindset, surely it's all made up. It appears to have grown out of the libertarian scheme of things in which freedom occupies some magical place in which all things are part of the natural scheme.Think only of Bill Cosby.

"Approximately 28% of victims are raped by husbands or boyfriends, 35% by acquaintances, and 5% by other relatives. (Violence against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994)" Statistica

"This is of course entirely in line with the male libertarian ethos of entitlement, whether it be to money or to sex (but especially sex). Of course it would never occur to a self-declared Randian paragon of rationality that the reason women don’t want to fuck him is because he tends to treat them like objects and not like people (as one might surmise from seeing someone share this image on Facebook, say)."

"And of course the most egregious part of the whole thing being that if you’re hot, you owe people sex, because paying taxes, which people do all over the civilized world, is the same as being raped (because that’s what it means when you’re forced to have sex with people you don’t want to have sex with, you guys)."
