Nice message, but the delivery makes me cringe. Her argument brings up the point which I tend to use in debate with feminists, especially in regards to the all to common NAFALT/No True Scotsman argument. Feminism is a multi billion dollar movement. It's institutionalized in schools, and especially the government. And look at the results. Look at who they help and how. And they still claim that feminism is simply the quest for equality.

Is there a link that shows that the term "rape culture" was first applied to men's prisons?

Thats awesome. The prisoners were taking about men raping men in prison and how their observations applied to men raping women in the wider culture, however.

I love this girl and how she gets it.

The animated GIFs in the OP's link seem to have some conflicting messages. While I agree with some of them, others I do not.

the first image for example, alleges the existence of patriarchy and that rape culture is part of it.

She then goes on later to say that it's not part of patriarchy... which seems like she's contradicting herself, unless her meaning has been lost in translation here.

...

rather than erase what I just typed, I just noticed that the initial picture is in quotes while the subsequent ones are not...

Meaning she's quoting someone else and not stating her own opinion.

That clears stuff up. Some air quotes would've helped solidify the quotes in the transcript. Often when quoting people in a video we put on a different tone of voice, but this doesn't come across in animated GIFs.

Also I'm vaguely remembering seeing a YouTube video about this... thanks to sammacyntyre for the channel. Her videos are pretty long, would someone happen to recall which one she said this stuff in? I can do a time link. I think I might watch'm all.

Throw this one in with the honey badgers.

RapeStory Already hijacked 'concern troll' term. Not sure if that's exclusively MRA term but I've only encountered it here.

as for gif, fucking win!

So we can't have a conversation about all sides of the issue and how they interconnect?

What? No. You can't just ignore women ARE a part of the rape culture. BOTH prisoners AND women get raped and luckily usually both of these issues are looked at. You can't just totally ignore one of them like she does, it makes it seem as if the problem with women being raped isn't a big one. Also, last I heard, there were women in prisons as well.
