I think we may disagree about what we're talking about in "rape culture" in the US. I posted examples. Where Tommy and I differ, is that I feel America isn't alone in having cultural displays that devalue women and are indirectly supportive of rape.
I think America has an over sexed culture. Don't all societies? After all, when it comes down to it, we'd be fools to deny we are nothing but animals in the end.
Included in that oversexed culture is the wink and nod to rape fetish. The reason it is tolerated, is because many women have rape fantasies. If they didn't, it wouldn't be tolerated.
Don’t Call Them “Rape Fantasies”
Study after study has revealed that one of women’s most popular erotic fantasies is being raped.
And as long as men are in power, they will empathize with those men who they seem to understand can't seem to control themselves.
If you don't believe me, go ask Bernie.
It's part of the human condition. We must rise above our baser instincts and toward our higher civilized, enlightened and nobler characteristics.
In our society? Men, women, children, animals, and the environment are not only being devalued, they are being raped.
