isn't it funny how you have shifted from attempting to address my argument at all to questioning whether i am sincere or not?

is this because you can't address the argument?

regardless it is up to you whether you want to continue obviously, but i stated already that i was offended by your implication that i am insincere originally, which is why i did not answer because i believe that you'd just continue repeating the idea that i'm lying

OK, if you won't answer him maybe you'll answer me. Do you believe there is a rape culture in the west?

i believe there are many examples of media normalising sexual aggression

examples that come to mind would be literature like 50 shades of grey and rap music

the latter ironically enough never seems to come under criticism by the groups who are supposedly trying to stop the rape culture(and is as popular as ever) and the former topped best seller lists(selling particularly well among women)

 

"You and your husband have a fight

One of you tries to grab a knife
And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adams apple sliced
(No!)
And while this is goin' on
His son just woke up and he just walks in
She panics and he gets his throat cut
(Oh my God!)
So now they both dead and you slash your own throat
So now it's double homicide and suicide with no note
I should have known better when you started to act weird
We could've, hey! where you going? get back here!
You can't run from me Kim
It's just us, nobody else!
You're only making this harder on yourself
Ha! ha! got you!
(Ah!)
Ha! go ahead yell!
Here I'll scream with you!
Ah somebody help!
Don't you get it bitch, no one can hear you?
Now shut the fuck up and get what's comin' to you
You were supposed to love me
Now bleed! bitch bleed!
Bleed! bitch bleed! bleed!
So long, bitch you did me so wrong
I don't want to go on
Living in this world without you"

but regardless yes sexual aggression is clearly normalised in much of our media
