5. Frankly, this has nothing to do with rape culture per se.

Because I'm pretty confident that if rape culture was nonexistent in this country, men like this would still exist. "Culture" didn't make him this guy way; say what you will about today's culture, but NO ONE who isn't a criminal is pushing pictures of naked 5 year olds on our sons and nephews. This isn't a bunch of high schoolers standing around high-fiving each other for violating a drunk classmate; these are psychologically fucked-up predators who do what they do in secret, as they have since time immemorial.

So, I'm not sure how you can take ANYTHING these "people" do as a reflection of the culture at large. If slut-shaming didn't exist, they'd still be willing to hurt children and brand them "sluts."
