Showing someone your dick is rape culture

That's obvious, and they know it. But tribalism and blanket condemnation is fun, and fits on a bumper sticker (meaning, it's short, pithy, and wrong). You don't have to deal with messy reality - like a conservative, you can just divide the world into black and white, in order to praise yourself for being good by comparing yourself to what you call evil.

But because such blanket statements are so stupidly indefensible, they fall into tribalistic hatred, and passive aggressive anger, when someone points out the truth to them.

If ever you want to understand how conservatives can deny the flat out obvious, Trump's inaugural crowd size for instance, this is exactly the mentality. The right wing may evince this sort of denial more often than the left, but the tendency is a human one.
