‘Rape Culture’ Is A MYTH | Change My Mind

[Qwark]

All I can say is thank God I don't live in the USA. Sometimes I think Europe is the most ridicilous place on earth, but I only have to look to the West and see that a single country can contain so much more BS.

Believing in the principle that someone is innocent until proven otherwise from any given crime is hardly supporting rape. Perhaps this is an American thing or something exclusive too religious nutjobs. But I never heard a girl was asking to be raped or was willingly doing so.

Abortion rules are backwards in most places so I can give the people who say there is a rape culture that, although that's more of an ethnic discussion of which rights unborn childs have.

As for most stats, many are presumptions based on the number of filed and unfiled claims, problem is the latter is pretty hard to estimate. It could be 1 in 2 women for all we know, it could also be in 7. As for male rapes that number is even harder to estimate.

Now undeniably rape is a very big offense and probably one of the worst crimes. But to say we live in a pro rape culture is a big overstatement. We live in a society that struggles with rape. Just like it struggles with drugs, theft, cybercrime, piracy and violence. Just because we struggle with those issues does not mean a society is pro any of those.
