As always, the "Change My Mind" format is awful and not conducive to its so called mission statement. If he actually wanted to have his mind changed, he would schedule a debate with an academic who wrote on the subject, not argue with random college students who clearly are not well enough versed on the subject.

It is an exercise in validation. Argue with a bunch of people who don't have the tools to provide counter-arguments so you can feel good about how smart and right you are.

I have little to add to the actual question right now ("rape culture" is so vague and poorly defined that to argue about it is functionally meaningless imo), but the format is a farce.
