'Rape culture' in the Western world?

So, if a guy does it, its evidence of rape culture.

If a women does it, its an awkward situation.

Erm, no? The gender is irrelevant. It's no more or less acceptable if it's a girl taking advantage of a drunk guy. I dont really think owning a uterus somehow gives you moral superiority.

I disagree with this double standard

I want to be a victim too

I hear you get sympathy and protection and support and money and stuff

Also, if women are just as guilty as men of rape culture, shouldn't we be teaching girls not to rape?

Absolutely not. I'm quite sure that it is more common in other parts of the orld actually. South Africa remains the rape capital of the world for instance.

I believe there is a false rape accusion culture. Woman almost never get punished for false rape accusions and when charges are pressed the society defend the wymn. #believemen

I suspect the real "rape capital" is closer to your neck of the woods to be honest. There just aren't any accurate statistics for anywhere north of us.

What the hell is 'rape culture'? Never heard of it. I'll have to vote NO.

Feminists even contradict themselves, they can't seem to agree wether wearing skimpy clothes is a form of sexual objectification or a woman's freedom of choice.

So drunk people cant have sex then? At all? Just because a girl wanted to have sex when she was drunk, and then regretted it the day after, does NOT mean she got raped. Not even close. If she is completly unconscious thats a different thing entirely.

Drunk people can have sex if there is a prior agreement to do so. But a very drunk person cannot give consent. Pretending to know that it's merely day-after regret is an attempt to reach the opposite conclusion of what regret typically indicates.

The definition of rape culture is in the first post. Feminists aren't confused. Objectification is seeing a person as a thing which is less than a whole person. For example, pornography of naked people tends to disregard their intelligence.

I'm impressed how people can see a rape culture half a world away, but the not where they actually live.

The idea of "Rape Culture," in the West is largely a caustic reaction by parents, old foggies and Sex- Feminists who reacted badly to all the salacious articles about College hookup culture and how young people were fucking like rabbits and having very raunchy sex, it was only a matter of time till some group of school marms got together to try and protect the delicate flower of American Womanhood.... as they say.

[GhostSkull]

Oh, sure. But you wont see anyone calling for a lynchmob everytime someone accuses someone else of ... well almost anything than rape(/child abuse). ...Which - in turn - just proves, that a thing like a "rape-culture" doesn't exist...

I haven't seen any of the lynchings you're talking about, but concerns about rape isn't evidence that doesn't exist, it suggests the opposite.

[Shibito]

Not really. I can only speak for myself, but if I'm with a girl who isn't showing much interest, has a few drinks and suddenly wants in my pants, I'm not going to act on that. I'll wait till she's sober again and if she still feels the same way then great. If not then I've avoided a decidedly awkward situation. Win/win.

Sure you would sure you would. I call bullshit.

[Simulacrum]

Maybe there's a "rape culture" in the sense that Hobbes has defined it.

But in that case "rape culture" is a good thing, that the "victims" enjoy as often as they don't. Probably more often than they don't, going by my experiences.

Seems to me like this is a horrifyingly disgusting thing to associate the act of what now apparently has to be qualified with "serious" rape with. Also seems like doing so would cause nothing but harm to "serious" rape victims as people begin to associate rape with something they've personally experienced as positive... but what do I know. I'm just one of many "rape victims" in a group of friends who were also all "raped" and enjoyed it. One guy is even married to the girl who STALKED (maybe) and serially "raped" him! No doubt we've been brainwashed by the patriarchy.

I think the safest thing to do is make it all punishable by law, to keep everyone from doing it, regardless of whether most people enjoy it or not. Of course, people are gonna do it anyway, but then I think we all agree that what our society needs right now is more people put in prison over trivialities.

...rape culture is a setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes...

As far as I'm aware, the overwhelming majority of people in social western world don't consider rape something normal. That's why we put rapists in jail.

You might want to check my location.

Aint that just human culture? I would love to see some graphs over how rape has increased or descreased over the years. I would not be surprised, if it has stayed pretty much the same through history. Stuff like this happends when people flok together in my cities, i dont think it has something directly to do with western culture.

There is no such thing as a 'rape culture'. Women these days get put on a pedestal. If anything, men have less rights than women now, or should I say privileges.

What rights or privileges are you talking about?

[lonely zergling]

Maybe feminists are talking about rap culture the whole time. But their autocorrect made rape out of rap...

What rights or privileges are you talking about?

Used my pro google skills and this was halfway down the page, lazy copy paste below:

-------

Women have the right to genital integrity

Women have the right to vote without agreeing to die (or conscriptional immunity, e.g. Austria, Finland, Greece, Switzerland)

Women have the right to choose parenthood

Women have the right to be assumed (competent) caregivers for children

Women have the right to call unwanted, coerced sex rape

Women have the right to lower jail sentences for the same crime US, Australia, UK

Women have the right to not be assumed sexual predators British Airways, Qantas, Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia

Women have the right to government departments that solely serve their interests Office on Violence Against Women - US, Ministry for Women - New Zealand, Office for
Women - Australia

Women have the right to government-enforced gender quotas Leadership positions in publicly traded companies - Norway, Legislated quotas in national parliaments -
Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal

Women have the right to exclusive tax benefits for being a business owner US, Australia

Women have the right to domestic violence shelters US, Canada, Europe

Women have the right to not be assumed the primary agressor in a domestic dispute US, UK

I have no idea what genital integrity is, but there hasn't been the draft for some time. Single/ infertile people can adopt. With the expectation that you're a better caregiver comes the responsibility of care. The affirmative actions are because women are underrepresented in those areas. Any abused person can use a shelter, and I'd hardly call that a privilege. Police don't make arrests in domestic disputes without evidence of battery.

"Evolution is only a theory. It is not a fact or a scientific law. Natural selection is based on circular reasoning: the fittest are those who survive, and those who survive are deemed fittest. Evolution is unscientific, because it is not testable or falsifiable. It makes claims about events that were not observed and can never be re-created. The disagreements among even evolutionary biologists show how little solid science supports evolution. If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

That's what you sound like
