" And do you think that those other statistics are a representative sample?"
representative of what? the population?
"To understand rape culture better, first we need to understand that it’s not necessarily a society or group of people that outwardly promotes rape (although it could be)."
to quote my own links
"The argument we make is that while women who have been raped endure the lasting effects of psychological and emotional harm, the problem of rape is not a “woman’s problem.” It is squarely a man’s problem. In the wake of recent horror stories about men in power who abuse women — like Harvey Weinstein — we offer some of our findings on rape culture and some suggestions for men to make change."
well shit look at that, a contradiction, now i suppose one could ask how would we decide which holds more weight?
well to me the obvious solution would be to look for trends and see which stance is more common... and overwhelmingly the problem is identified as men... i mean i could post a whole bunch of links demonstrating this but i think you already know this is the case
"Nothing in that definition states anything which contradicts Rol's point. The understood possibility that every male has a reasonable likelihood of raping you is not fundamental to the definition of rape culture"
first off that was not an official definition... that was one woman giving a response to people criticising the term "rape culture"
secondly you cherry picked one small part of what i posted when there are numerous other quotes that contradict your assertion...
and jesus christ man in the exact same article you are quoting from they state these
"he ubiquity of street harassment – and how victims are told that they’re “overreacting” when they call it out."
"1-in-5 women and 1-in-71 men having reported experiencing rape"
are examples of rape culture
edit: i'm a little confused though, why are you trying so hard to absolve men for causing this problem?
