Rape culture is the same kind of thing as white privilege. It's a total mischaracterization on how the world works, turning everyone and everything into aggressors and victims. They need buzzwords to throw around at every issue instead of taking a nuanced look and actively trying to fix things.

Youve ignored anything that you dont have an easy cop out for.


5 examples (directed at me) that weren't answered either by me or another person.

No, Im not playing your silly games. Heres one:
His definition is set up like if I frame it like this and use a very limited set of data, I can tell everyone theyre wrong.

Would you consider the Catholic Church to have a problem with rape culture? How about prison? Now, do you think there has been an appropriate number of convictions for rapes that occurred in either of those cultures?

Watched the video and based on his definition I would agree

Does US society promote men/women to go out and rape people? No, I don't think so.
Does US society condone men/women who go out and rape people? No, I don't think so.

Have some rapists got off easy? Sure, but I don't think that means our entire society encourages or condones rape.

funny how people want to say were ignoring them when they so obviously ignored the whole fucking video

His logic is based around a statistic that doesnt account for unreported rapes. If he doesnt want to be intellectually honest then his video is pointless.

I feel like we only have to look at the way society reacted to the Aziz Ansari incident to determine that the US, at the very least, has a lot of trouble talking about sexual behavior in any honest way.

Ok so you went from saying I'm ignoring everything to "wahh you ignored one of my comments." That makes a little more sense.

And that's not how his definition is set up. "limited set of data" from a guy that didn't watch the video about people not interested in data to begin with.

Rape culture is the same kind of thing as white privilege. It's a total mischaracterization on how the world works, turning everyone and everything into aggressors and victims. They need buzzwords to throw around at every issue instead of taking a nuanced look and actively trying to fix things.

If we want to talk mischaracterization...

I think a lot of reasons these arguments fail early is because people who don't want to believe these aspects of society exist will, instead of trying to understand the rationale of those who coined the terms, will instead define the terms for themselves and use that as a starting point for the argument against them.

Or to put it another way, "rape culture" is not defined as "a culture that promotes/condones rape", and beginning an argument from that point is pretty doggone disingenuous.

The only poor thing he did in this video is maybe have a narrow definition of "rape culture" but there is no actual definition for that anyways. Everything he actually said was completely realistic.

The fact that people still ask "What was she wearing?" when a woman gets raped is all the proof needed to show that some form of "rape culture" exists.

This Isn't a good point.

The definition will entirely depend on who you're talking to for sure, but pretty much anyone who is going to use it is the entitled gender studies graduate type. There may be people and academics who try to utilize it in a different context, but it's drowned out.

But that does not remove the larger problem of such discourse. Those kinds of terms create a victim complex, boiling it down to the idea that society is severely flawed and "toxic." They are used in such a way not to fix anything, but to blame things. "Things are like this because of 'buzzword.'"

Sorry, either they misdefine the term or they try to discredit the claimant outright. Forgot the second part of that.

With any problem, you have to identify the root cause before you can fix anything, or at least improve it, and when the root cause is presented and those in power respond "no it's not", that's why things don't get fixed.

There is a difference between discussing a problem and trying to bundle it up into some kind of all inclusive term that can be "fought." You can say "there are problems that are greatly affecting the black community" and fight against those problems where they arise. Ascribing the term "white privilege" may be an attempt to put a term to those problems, but you're instead simply creating an aggressor and victim. That is the same idea with rape culture, patriarchy, etc. It doesn't matter that these terms may have more neutral definitions. What matters is how they are used by the people who use them. The second someone says "it's the fault of X", the purpose has been lost.
