Q4RP: Explain Rape Culture.

alreadyredschool · 2017-03-08T15:31:56+00:00

A culture in which rape/harassment etc is widespread and tolerated or normalized.

Huge part of it is victim blaming and the trivialization of rape.

And some crazies believe that this is happening in the first world. As if we have it as bad as countries like Chad, Kongo, Pakistan, India, Suriname, Eritrea...

Considering that I've even read an interview with a feminist who made a direct connection between "manspreading" and "rape culture", nothing surprises me anymore.

Judging by this article, it's more that feminists can't understand black humor or, more importantly, can't understand why no one gives a fuck about their problems:

Rape is normal. Shocker. Same as famine, war, murder, and other miseries of the unwashed masses.

Here's a fun fact: men are actually raped more than women in the United States. Way more. But I never see you or your feminist buddies go to bat for victims of prison rape unless it's brought up first by someone else. Why?

Because of the hanging, greasy chad that makes anti-feminists roll their eyes every time you folks try to take a moral high ground: the not-so-subtle implication that where violence against lower class men can be tolerated, violence against young, usually educated women is absolutely unacceptable.

Funny how people tend to hold contempt for sexist hypocrites.

Rape culture is how you rationalize a life that's headed towards dying alone with 27 cats. It's a much more dignified death if the alternative to leaving the house would have involved getting raped in 1 out of every 5 encounters with a man and getting sexually assaulted every time you turn the corner.

1) unattractive men trying to act like attractive men. Unattractive men trying to chat up women, asking women for dates, and all around showing sexual interest in women. Because unattractive men are not supposed to do that.

2) Men saying "hi" to women on the street.

3) Men saying 'aw smile' to women on the street.

4) Men running day game.

5) Men making their sexual interest and intentions plain and easily known.

6) Men applying gentle pressure to their dates/GFs/wives for sex.

isnt it obvious? Rape culture is like any other culture. People from Rapeia have a rich a vibrant cultural heritage and have every right to celebrate their lifestyle like the rest of us in the melting pot that is tHe US. Dont be so culturally insensitive.

LOL obligatory /S

Ultramegasaurus · 2017-03-08T15:50:08+00:00

A culture that tolerates and enables rape. Feminists wrongly accuse western societies of being rape cultures.

HitchensTwoPointOh · 2017-03-08T17:23:50+00:00

The real problem lies in the fact that you have college level classrooms shoving the 1 in 5 bullshit down malleable kids throats. I don't think most of the casual feminists are charlatans, just the ones in academia perpetuating this bullshit.

Gaslighting women who were raped in the U.S. because they weren't "that girl in India who was gang-raped by 47 guys."

That's a great example of rape culture.

That women have to meet a quota of unwanted dicks being forced inside them before it's considered rape.

That only "certain kinds of women" (e.g., virginal and chaste) can actually be raped.

That a woman has to have a certain amount of bruises covering X% of her body to be considered a rape victim.

That if a woman is unable to say the words, "No," loudly enough, she wasn't really raped.

Walking down a block of frat houses with signs that read: "No means yes, and yes means anal," and, "Leave your daughters here for us to rape." That's part of rape culture. What's even MORE a part of rape culture is when you hear, "Honey, that shouldn't bother you. It's all in good fun."

College athletes who rape being let off the hook because they have to finish out a season for the university first.

Rape being accepted, overlooked, downplayed, or outright invalidated as a "thing" that exists.

Steubenville athletes.

The list goes on.

But yes, my favorite is the first. "You just don't understand rape because you haven't been raped hard enough, sweetheart, and you don't live in a part of the world where rape is an every day occurrence. Womp womp. Play again."

Then again, maybe those assholes are confusing "rape culture" with "rape" and a person's "culture?" If so, you don't know what in the sam hell you are talking about, my friend. Read something helpful.

Eye-Rape - when a male looking is literally rape.

Thought-Rape - when a male objectifies and literally rapes her by mentally undressing and performing all kinds of rough kinky sex acts on her (that she secretly likes anyway)

Date-Rape - when a woman changes her mind about that Chad ONS the morning after so it becomes literally rape.

Rape culture is everywhere around us. So many creepy men raping women 24/7, someone do something!

Feminists think because men sometimes get away with rape and/or sexual assault, it must be our society and culture deeming such behavior acceptable, especially if they are among the top in society(white upper class handsome male).

They use it to scare and shame men, get attention, increase and promote their victim status, get men to act in their interest, punish men as they feel justified.

Macheako · 2017-03-08T19:20:11+00:00

Nothing. And that's exactly the problem lol.

IIHotelYorba · 2017-03-08T20:40:43+00:00

There is NO specific definition of it. They have their dumb catchphrase for it that it's "a society that accepts/promotes rape, " vague to the nth degree. Outside of that that just bandy about totally debunked statistics like the 1 in 4 aka 1 in 5 stat which would put American women in the same level of danger as women in the Congo during a civil war. It's the reason why RAINN says "rape culture" is a bad term and shouldn't be used.

LeaderOfGamergate · 2017-03-09T09:39:30+00:00

Rape culture is the segment of hook up culture that goes wrong.

Everyone is told in college they must drink and fuck all the time. Boys struggle to live up to it and do women. Women are told they have to fuck Chad or they're a prude, boys are told they have to fuck a woman or they're not a man. Throw in a lot of alcohol, and parties, and you end up with situations with shitty communication all round: an overeager guy thinks a girl has consented, an inebriated women doesn't make it clear she hasn't consented, both are feeling the pressure of both alcohol and sexual standards and voila! You have a rape.

That's what I believe rape culture is. It's part of the sexual, hedonistic casual sex party hookup culture which is pushed by both feminists and trpers. It's disgusting.

Rape Culture: the belief that all men are rapists everywhere and are complicit in hiding and excusing all the hella-rape that's happening everywhere all the time.

I'm not red but I am somewhat critical of some feminist versions of this so I'll offer my impression:

Feminists use the term to highlight and lay blame on various forms of (either male, or collective, ie mass media, but rarely female) discourse that normalize or make light of sexual objectification and assault (generally of women).

The problems is that their version basically makes it into some isolated cultural monolith rather than a broader component of general culture, tends to write out female complicity or involvement in 'rape culture' (by defining it almost entirely around bro-ish male discourse), and tends to ignore the actual studies of the behavior of sexual offenders.

In my view, it's more of a bludgeon constructed for social and political debate than an actual analytical or prescriptive frame for addressing the problem it professes to be concerned with.

methylotroph · 2017-03-10T03:10:12+00:00

I can speak for feminist, I have no understanding or rape culture, I would guess it would be the same thing as murder culture or stealing culture or racketeering culture?

Unabummer80 · 2017-03-08T16:19:18+00:00

Some nonsense that is being used to give women more power ;)

Me2_0 · 2017-03-08T17:20:57+00:00

Its often when the girl acts flirty but has no intention of getting laid. The guys usually end up sexually assaulting the girl before she can get the message across that she isnt interested.

Its a perfect storm between selfish fuck boy and ditsy flirty girl, the guy assumes she is a slut at some point and doesnt change his mind for the rest of the night.
