Political Crossfire Forums

yes, but not to the extent that third wavers would have us believe and it's not really a national culture so much as there are pockets of it in certain groups.

Yeah that seems to be about right.

I would submit that creating a spectre like "rape culture" as an American umbrella term, ironically takes away responsibility from men, and places it on a faceless gang of baddies who work to objectify and abuse women at any cost. It's liberal politics run amok, i.e. as com said, 3rd wave feminism... and it's extremely shallow in its intellectual value. Great for putting political action committees together though...

I don't believe there is any useful discussion about rape that doesn't involve specific, miswired, f**k up individuals.

Rape culture? No.. Obsessed with sex culture/society? Oh yeah..

Sex sells.. TV, Movies, books, songs, advertisements, it's everywhere.. You selling a wrench? Use T&A baby..

something other than individual will causes all social activity, because "free will" doesn't actually exist

animal behavior is a system

Non is quite cautious about this subject. Actual sexual predation (as in a stranger goes out, grabs a girl, and forces her to have sex) is pretty rare.

The vast majority of sexual assaults take place between people with relationships and the majority of sexual assaults don't rise to the traditional or legal definition of rape (forced sex). That's why the "questioning" of victims is so common, especially when there is little or no physical evidence to back up their claims.

not really sure what to do, most of the women I've have close relationships with have at least had brushes with sexual assault, mostly from people they knew. The law is pretty much as harsh and pro-victim as it can be without seriously violating due process.

also there are some indications that hyper-sexuality is decreases the incidents of sexual assault.
