"For those who don't believe rape culture exists, psychology professor Ryan McKelley used a sports analogy. He said that merchandise celebrating the Green Bay Packers is evidence of a sports culture. Likewise, pornography and consumer goods that promote sexist messages are evidence of rape culture."

Likewise, pornography and consumer goods that promote sexist messages are evidence of rape culture.

All the porn I've ever watched features women willingly, enthusiastically engaging in sex. The women are definitely not being raped, because porn offers a fantasy that's the opposite of that: attractive women who are unusually keen to have sex.

I think he's very much missed the mark here. Porn is evidence of consensual sex culture, not rape culture.

teach-in about rape culture ... The teach-in was in part a reaction to a banner hung by a group of UW-L students... offering sexual acts to first-year students.

So offering consenting sex is "rape culture"?

These people are a living parody of themselves.

There is Star Wars merchandise, so that proves The Force exists

Only if sex = rape. The logical fallacy is that people buy sports items consensually. Rape isn't consensual, but if consensyal sex is rape, then women should be just as guilty.

I had to look up another news site to find out what the banner actually said.

So much advertising that sexualizes women is focused on selling to women. Are both the viewer and the viewed conspiring to create this mythical rape culture?

MagicTampon · 2016-09-25T05:44:44+00:00

Porn is evidence of sex culture.

It has nothing to do with rape.

What an idiot.

Following his logic, is birth control evidence of rape culture? Are condoms evidence of rape culture?

The only rape cultures I know if, are the cultures among rapists in prison, and the culture of feminists who constantly talk about rape.

Merchandise celebrating the Green Bay Packers -- it is evidence of sports culture, but is it evidence of crime culture? Of course not.

diceblue · 2016-09-25T00:46:59+00:00

The analogy breaks down immediately. Because it isn't indicative of a RAPE culture, just a SEX culture. Not the same thing.

rg57 · 2016-09-25T02:13:13+00:00

And the History section of any bookstore is evidence of ... everything.

iainmf · 2016-09-25T07:51:03+00:00

Feminist merchandise is evidence there is no patriarchy.

Akesgeroth · 2016-09-25T08:43:53+00:00

Saying pornography is rape culture is like saying Packers merchandise is cheating at sports culture.

As in, it's fucking idiotic and contrived.

Tallsmarthandsome · 2016-09-25T07:35:03+00:00

Rape is legal in Green Bay? Wisconsin? What american states is rape legal? Are there Rape legalization campaigns to change the law like marijuana legalization campaigns? Does ESPN have rape stats nightly to cater to the rape culture fans?

FezPaladin · 2016-09-27T20:33:04+00:00

So... pornography is rape?

This is literally one of the oldest lies in the feminist book.

JebberJabber · 2016-09-24T19:15:50+00:00

70 of the more than 2,000 respondents reported being raped. Only five of those reported the rape.

5 of the 70 people who reported their rapes reported their rapes? How do words'n shit work?

Moonvie · 2016-09-24T20:58:40+00:00

His point is completely logical if you go with the feminist definition of sex = rape. That only means heterosexual sex though, because women are wonderful they can't rape.

fengpi · 2016-09-25T01:31:40+00:00

I don't understand something about raep kulchir...

If society accepts raep as normal (or, at the very least, does not consider it a serious crime) and treats the raeperists with undue sensitivity, why do the reaperists always try to keep their raeps a secret? I mean, they know they won't be punished, right? It raep was a banality which no one cared about, you'd think that raeperists wouldn't really have to deny their raeps so hard because denying a banality is no big deal. Right? The law, the police, the judges, the college administrators, the entertainment industry and the whole of society is already on the side of the raeperists, so why would the raeperist want or even need to deny anything?

feedmecarrots · 2016-09-24T15:08:51+00:00

We know there is no rape culture. What they don't want is for us to know that they know there is no rape culture. This gets convoluted very quickly..

Pornography_saves_li · 2016-09-24T17:14:44+00:00

Then psychology professor Ryan Mc Kelly is a fucking moron. Or, he believes logic and reason are patriarchal....wait, thats covered under 'moron'. So I guess comment complete.
