Is "rape culture" responsible for child rape, incest and pedophilia?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

35. Culture has little to do with 'accusation'.

While you can, in fact, work to shape culture, it takes a lot of people to actually do so (unless you're a major celebrity, I suppose.). You're much more acted upon by culture than you are acting upon it.

It's like white privilege. If you're white, in the US, you have it. But it doesn't instantly mean you're a racist bigot. Nor does it mean you're going to be rich, and live a life of luxury. It's more a statistical thing, such that you're far more likely to have a greater net worth than your counterpart with a darker skin. More likely to have a chance to get into better schools, to not be instantly pegged as a criminal if you walk down certain streets. It's more about not having bad things assumed about you, than having good things magically dropped in your lap. People who want to eliminate privilege don't want to take things away from white people. They just want the same things for black and brown and yellow and red people. To not get stopped far more often by police, to not get thrown in jail far more often and for longer times for the same crimes.

So acknowledging that there is a culture that largely turns a blind eye to rape, even suggests that it's 'normal' or 'expected' in songs and movies, does not accuse males in general, or even DU males in specific of being anything other than just guys operating under the same culture as anyone else male or female.

Now I suppose you could consider that 'pious' or 'sanctimonious', but I don't particularly. I save those attitudes for my rants on wealth inequality
