There is no culture of rape

Yes there is. Prison and prison-culture. Even outside the prison walls, it's perfectly acceptable to joke about being sent to "pound-me-in-the-ass prison" with "bubba" as a roommate. Prison rape isn't even included in a lot of studies just to hide it even more and keep the male-on-female rape stats that much scarier.

As for the other side, I would argue that there's a "fear-of-rape" culture where groups make millions off keeping women scared of the menz and destroying male/female relations.

We don’t tell Jews that they exist in a culture of anti-Semitism because the KKK exists. We don’t tell soldiers that the world is happy to see them die because of the Westboro Baptist Church.

These are both pretty terrible points. The KKK as it exists today may not be a sign of racist culture by itself (though there are plenty of others that help make that case), but in its original form it seems to be pretty clearly related to racist attitudes of the time, if not a product of them.

WBC is different because they're a much smaller and more isolated group, and most of their attitudes aren't well reflected in other places.
