(42,674 posts)Well thank you for that. I'm incredibly relieved but your reinsurance, and anecdotal evidence. I'll just toss out the books and articles and classes I've taken that support the idea of rape culture.
I'll tell the women I've known--it's quite a few more than than one and much more recent than 30 years ago that have been held captive and raped--often prostituted out--the guy is no doubt in Timbuktu.
I'll tell the forensic and women's health nurses I know that rape culture doesn't exist to they should expect to lose their jobs poste haste.
We can tell women roofies are a thing of the past because there is no culture of acceptance. Also while were are it all those collage campuses that are, men and women both, protesting rape culture that it doesn't exist in the US.
Perhaps we can continue to ignore the 400,000 back logged rape kits here in the US, or the abysmal conviction rate. Of course Detroit did just process a whole 100, and found 12 serial rapists- but what rape culture?
I'll write letters to courts informing them "what she was wearing" and the legalize terms for "she was asking for it" is irreverent so stop saying that.
We'll just tell rape victims potential rape victims to live in fear, and take proper precautions, shall we?
