Rape culture is everywhere

I've said this earlier today and I'll say it again. The problem I have with the feminist's definition of rape culture is the idea that making sexist jokes and objectifying women leads to rape. It simply isn't true. Rapists rape not because people are making sexist jokes or objectifying women. Rapists rape because they are rapists and they want to exert control over their victims sexually. Note that I used the word victims and not women, because women can be rapists and men can be victims too.

These feminists masquerade as some sort of moral crusade championing this false idea that all men are potential rapists with the slogan "Men can stop rape." (Conveniently forgetting that female teachers have been convicted with rape of course). They are too busy hating men to realise that rape is not a gender issue, it's a control issue. Feminists, you are totally not helping anyone by promoting these false ideas.

I don't even know how I got here, but when you start labeling everything as rape, that is what makes rape lose it's meaning.

"I raped that test" (seriously, do people say that?) is no more about rape than "I bombed that test" is about terrorism.

I'm not sure that sarcasm is the best approach here, but its novel for your blog, so won't hold it against you much.

[rape culture] "is defined as 'a complex of beliefs that encourages male sexual aggression and supports violence against women.'

Our view is that rape culture is a feminist fabrication, and that it is defined as the proselytizing of women's fear that men are undisuadably sexually aggressive and that there is pervasive sexual violence against women.
