14. Not only is there rape culture...

Thu Jul 10, 2014, 03:18 PM

Jul 2014

There's murder culture, embezzlement culture, drunk driving culture, getting kids to smoke culture, bullying culture, shooting endangered animals culture, hacking culture... it goes on and on.

Call it, in aggregate, "crime" culture.

I'm not sure I'm willing to call out one aspect of crime culture more than any other, aside from the general categories society makes about this, and rape is a very serious crime.
