Thanks for sharing. I just had a primer on how funny this rape culture thing is over in the video forum. I still don't get it. Rape at knife point, on a dark, street, at 3am, by a psycho stranger, pianning to hurt you in the most intimate way possible. A big joke, in this guys imagination?

Even if he is reversing roles to make a point is this rape cultue something you join like drug culture or is it like owning a Harley-Davidson and buying a fancy jacket? Who are these guys in the dark alleys with knives and guns waiting around the dumpsters, homeless dudes? Living the dream rape lifestyle. Or are they in a Rapist Union? Is it organized? Or do these guys just join some rape club and figure out a better way to corner victims?

I think it might be psycho violence culture but I'm sure that's an insult to the mentally unhinged.
