It’s a myth in the US at least. We look down on rapists and prosecute them. There’s nothing cultural here that results in us encouraging or ignoring rapists.
You can blame the #metoo movement for a majority of the doubt and negativity surrounding accusers nowadays. Look at the Aziz situation, a woman went out with him, engaged willingly in a sexual encounter, never once said no or removed herself from the situation, and then later accused him of sexual assault for basically not being able to read her mind. You have a bad hookup and it’s sexual assault. It’s dumb.
Unfortunately it’s a hard crime to prove and a lot of the time it happens under dubious circumstances like drinking, parties, etc. It’s not something like theft or assault.
