A person has to be willfully oblivious to not figure out we live in a rape culture. But then if someone's advice to a friend looking to find a partner is to start offering women $10 for a bj, that says a great deal about how they view women. Rape culture is blaming a victim for her own rape, shaming her on social media to the point she commits suicide. Rape culture is a 4% conviction rape for rapists. It's 30 day sentences for child rapists and no prison time for raping a 13 yr old girl, with a judge calling her the "predator." Rape culture is the eroticization of rape through brutal pornography. Rape culture is men who insist on silencing women about rape. Rape culture is victim blaming and people who think the most offensive thing about rape is not the effect of the crime on victims, but that they might see women write about "rape culture." How awful for you. The trauma of being confronted with a woman who speaks her mind truly is awful.
Mix all that in with opposition to those radical EEOC laws passed decades ago, that's the trifecta.
The only thing ludicrous is your insistence on denying the most obvious reality. The question is why?
