Isn't that what we have been taught since a young age? And yet the third wave feminist movement has brainwashed me into believing that rape is caused by rape culture. In other words, feminists don't blame rapists for rape, but they blame society for rape. Feminists are rapist apologists!

This doesn't make sense. At least in the United States, I don't see men advocating for rape, or high-fiving other men for raping women. Surely I have seen men being overly flirtatious and immature around women, but I have seen women being overly flirtatious and aggressive with men as well. It is an uncomfortable issue both genders have to deal with. Rape is caused by a few sick individuals, not by our culture (at least in 21st century America, as I can't speak for other cultures).

It seems like every reputable organization seems to agree with me as well. According to RAINN, "In the last few years, there has been an unfortunate trend towards blaming “rape culture” for the extensive problem of sexual violence on campuses. While it is helpful to point out the systemic barriers to addressing the problem, it is important to not lose sight of a simple fact: rape is caused not by cultural factors but by the conscious decisions, of a small percentage of the community, to commit a violent crime."

This explains why men are raped at a similar rate when one counts prison rapes. The only reason why women are raped more frequently outside of prison is because women are physically smaller, and thus easier to dominate for the rapist (remember, rape is about POWER). But right when straight, power-hungry men are put together in a prison, rape begins to occur there as well, even though these men are mostly straight.

Some feminists I've talked to say that prisoners and prison rapes don't count. But if we're going to label sex while slightly tipsy as rape, or sex a woman slightly regrets as rape, we MUST count nonconsensual sodomy as rape.

This settles the debate. Rape is not a woman's issue. I don't know why women still say, "I need feminism because I was raped." Yes, rape is horrible, and yes, rape causes PTSD and trauma, but to turn it into a gender issue ignores the real problem at hand (rapists) and worst of all, ignores the struggles of men who have been sexually assaulted.
