"incidents like robbery or stabbings have a realistic chance to occur during night time. On the other hand, marriages are made with no visible or known signs that rape is a realistic possibility" but is that true? is it not a widely held belief that we live in a rape culture? https://everydayfeminism.com/2014/03/examples-of-rape-culture/ http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/People-March-Against-Rape-Culture-in-Iowa-City-479060463.html
and that rape culture is perpetuated through men http://theconversation.com/what-rape-culture-says-about-masculinity-85513 https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/seeing-sexual-harassment-and-violence-mens-issue/ |
Perhaps read your own link about what rape culture actually is before trying to use the phrase as a sort of "gotcha".
While I don't agree fully with the idea of rape culture, the idea does not imply that we live in a culture where everyone rapes or where women should be afraid of being raped by every man they see. The idea is that our culture downplays rape, ignores victims and makes jokes about sexual violence. It is more about cultural attitudes towards sexual violence and victims than the likelihood of those things occurring.
Further, the links you are posting support the exact argument that myself and others have been arguing with CrazyGamer about. They speak to how we should keep the onus of responsibility on the perpetrators, how we should move away from blaming the victim and how this attitude of "the rape victim should take responsibility" can be incredibly damaging. They fail as a counterargument to the larger discussion and fail as a counterargument to a specific point and do nothing to actually add anything of value to this discussion as it is clear that you neither support the opinions you are linking, nor fully understand those opinions.
