Let's just get this straight, because it has become entirely obvious that a lot of people aren't understanding just what we mean when we say "rape culture".
Jump, please.
Just about every single woman I have ever met, including myself, has experienced more than one instance of sexual aggression, ranging from unwanted attention, to stalking, to assault, to rape.
Yet only a small fraction of men admit to raping or assaulting women (Rapists Admit Repeated Crimes — As Long As You Don't Call It "Rape"). Hmmm... so that means that either:
1) There are a few thousand guys out there that are committing all the assaults
or
2) There are a lot of men, a lot, who have assaulted a woman, and they don't realize that what they did was wrong or they don't want to admit it.
My money goes on number 2.
This is what creates the context for the "rape culture". It is not "pro-rape"; it is a comfort zone that men create for themselves so that they don't have to feel bad about what they have done.
Guys, I'm sorry, but I know that the vast majority of you out there know exactly what I'm talking about. The date that got too drunk so you banged her (because who's gonna know, right?), the chick at work that has been totally checking you out for months so you met up for happy hour and shoved your tongue down her throat. Or maybe the little lying whore that's accusing your son of raping her.
Okay, maybe this isn't you. But you know damn well that you have been in conversations, dozens, just like these. There are simply too many assaults on women for so many of you to be claiming that you have no clue as to what is going on.
The. Math. Does. Not. Compute.
So, as has been stated in quite a few diaries thus far, STFU.
