studies have shown that 1 in 3 men would rape a woman if he could

https://thinkprogress.org/1-in-3-college-men-in-survey-say-they-would-rape-a-woman-if-they-could-get-away-with-it-ffa7406b9778/

that means(if the study is accurate obviously) that every third man you pass on the street is a potential rapist

 

"It is more about cultural attitudes towards sexual violence and victims than the likelihood of those things occurring."

incorrect, you have not been doing your reading on the problem as the link i posted indicates

1) Do you believe we live in a "rape culture"?

2) Do you think that study utilizes representative sampling techniques?

3) Would you care to elaborate on how I am incorrect, or do you just want to leave your argument as a mere contradiction (and as we all know, contradiction is not an argument).

the study is corroborated with other statistics

"Would you care to elaborate on how I am incorrect"

because you stated that "rape culture" is not about how often rapes occur and that's wrong

yes its about attitudes that lead to rape but its also about how often the act occurs

 

"Do you believe we live in a "rape culture"?"

you already presumed what my stance is on this by stating that i "neither support the opinions you are linking, nor fully understand those opinions." with no evidence that this is the case

so it seems you are already prepared to call me a liar, so why bother asking now?
