Does "rape culture" really exist?

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

lol. You're using articles written on a website with anonymous writers/publisher as an example. That's like me pulling some random feminist blog and claiming that its a consensus

I can't knock you for nitpicking. Any distraction from confronting the issue of rape in America is worth pursuing.

Yes, this Coli convo is distracting America from discussing rape

Yes, this Coli convo is distracting America from discussing rape

This convo is a reflection of general dialogue on rape in the US. Your frantic deflections and anger at everyone who dares discuss the topic of rape is not uncommon. But w/e man stay mad, it's your life.

Timeout... pause.. hold up.


I think you are confusing common phrases said by rape apologist with actual rape culture. I'm not defending rape apologist, but there is a huge difference that is being largely ignored in this thread.This applies to most post in the thread.. not just to you.

I'm just gonna be real for a sec... most Americans honestly don't know shyt about real rape culture. Rape culture is when it is completely accepted or completely ignored in society at large. If you screamed rape today, you would most likely be able to get the police and the media and friends and family on your side vehemently pursuing legal action (if you so desired)


You guys dont know how it is for women in other countries and are largely speaking out of ignorance
-Where if you cry rape your own father would rather disown you than say anything about it for the shame you brought upon the family.
-Where if you said that your husband raped you, the response would be along the lines of "so what? be a better wife"
-Where if a man of power raped your child you would have to just deal with it
-Where if a man of power raped your wife there is nothing that you can do legally about it
-Where officers and military men can and will rape local women in BROAD DAYLIGHT and no one will do shyt about it
-Where when girls come home from secondary school for the Boxing Day/Christmas break, they are told to avoid certain roads because they will most likely be raped, but no one does shyt about the rapist.
-Where the local Man of God will rape your wife and the entire congregation will turn a blind eye to it


That's real rape culture...

Pockets of this do exist in America but the entire culture accepting rape as just a fact of life?

Nah you guys have it relatively easy here... trust me.

Rape culture is not exclusive to America. I respect your opinion. But to say it's worse in other countries doesn't mean it doesn't exist in this one.

fukk rapists :kanye:

The crux of what rape culture is (and how its a epidemic in our society) is this:

True or False: Our society objectifies women (and before I hear bullshyt about "well these women are out here showing their ass so their to blame" realize women are only SELLING what men/patriarchy is BUYING...also realize it aint women who own the media, making the tv shows, movies, magazines, etc. that create the "idea" of what a woman "should be")

Also True or False: Men in our society are conditioned into believing that sleeping with women (and obtaining high numbers in both partners and occasion) is what makes you a real man and the key to a successful life and you should get it with little to no consideration of your partners feelings (I mean seriously theColii and every board ive ever been on worships at the altar of this mindstate)

If you answer true to both statements (and if you don't, youre a liar or delusional), then maybe, JUST MAYBE its conceivable that a lot of everyday men (not monsters or bad people, but everyday guys) in the process of trying to obtain sex from women are going to overstep boundaries and not realize they've done anything wrong, AT ALL.

That's the frightening reality imo of what rape culture really is.

Foh with asking a question that you feel you have an answer too. Just say your spiel and leave it at that. I disagree with 1 only because you are making it a one way street. People objectify people period. Its not just men so 1 is null and void. Two has some truth but its the other stuff you put afterwards that gets a nah son on this too. I can only speak for myself but I believe many not all dudes don't have a by any means mentality to getting girls and also that's something that goes both ways just in different styles depending on gender. Women as a group do similar things to get guys with means, power, etc so again stop acting like things are one sided when it can easily be proven just from talking to people from both genders we both think the other group is on some shyt at times stereotypically speaking. Also thanks for outing yourself as another I be online too fukking much dude with that everywhere online line. On fukking line with people you've most likely never met or even saw is the basis for this "culture" where we don't know how people are raised and what has them like they are? Thanks champ for that one.

It seems like rapists are considered the worst human beings imaginable in society

Just a rape accusation can ruin your life

But I've heard feminists use this term a lot

Does it exist?

It does

It's not as prevalent in the United States as it is in some other countries but yes it's very real even here. I feel like here it mostly exists among athletes.

nikka I made 2 posts. Whatchumean 'awlll throughout'.
And no, rape culture ain't about rape. If it was we wouldn't have created some new buzz word. Rape culture supposedly points out all the little things that somehow lead to rape or the acceptance of it and 95% of the stuff I see people talking about are things they view as misogynistic. I've had a female try to convince me that men 'sexualizing' breasts is part of 'rape culture'

Exactly if you just do the same things these google debaters do and use a search engine you'll see most of the traits of "rape culture" could just be plain ole misogyny. Then these cats act like your blind and can't see that shyt from like a mile away. They also can't usually show actual examples of rape culture taking place in their own lives even though its sooo prevalent. Its junk as far as that term goes and truth be told no matter what it is people by and large are just trying to live their day to day not knowingly/unknowingly participating in rape culture or anything else that isn't their norm.

I can't knock you for nitpicking. Any distraction from confronting the issue of rape in America is worth pursuing.

But you just nitpicked yourself by using some elected official as some confirmation of what you said. How can you do the same thing then claim somebody else doing it. How many people do you know IRL that say shyt like,that elected official but you used that as some confirmation of rape culture. That's like a white person being robbed by a black person and them thinking yep all blacks are robbers. It don't work that way. That's lazy fam cause I'm pretty sure we can find more guys saying this isn't acceptable than the guy you posted type of comments so who are we kidding here? You're using emotional heartstring tactics.

Rape culture is just a phrase and a push by liberals and feminist in order to hold all men accountable for the actions of a few. It's a typical tactic

Apparently you've never read up on tribal civil wars in Africa.

Keyword is "War". anyway, were talking about Devils not Africans

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Of course the thread immediately turned to "white people".

Of course your Stockholm syndrome ass would come in to the rescue for white folks. Always on time captain c00n.

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

What people are getting at when they refer to "rape culture" are the customs and cultural practices that leads to complacency when it comes to sexualized violence of which most victims are women, now and throughout history. Not a traveling band of sex offenders...

If that is the definition of rape culture that you're choosing, then it shouldn't come as a surprise that so many people question it's validity (myself included). Skepticism regarding allegations of rape is not "complacency", nor is it advocacy of sexual violence.
