Bert,
Your input would be appreciated here
I’m unconvinced as to the extent of rape culture, and I really tend to hate feminism in general so I do tend to go the opposite way of those who scream “rape culture” since this allows me to dissociate from liberals. I think that there is some truth to the idea, but generally the concept is taken too far in assuming how rape and the like is normally portrayed. It also seems to assume that just because you’re not responsible for being raped that you weren’t being foolish.
Nonetheless, from what I’ve seen it does appear that the way this case is being portrayed is pretty perverse, but this may be partially because there is ambiguity around the case itself.
“thats not rape culture, those are statements by piece of shit talking heads. pull your head out of the collectivist sandbox and realize that personal security is a gender-neutral private good.”
Why isn’t it rape culture? Furthermore Bert is not being collectivistic except insofar as someone who talks about groups inherently is, and your comment doesn’t add anything to the discussion of whether or not women in certain situations are discriminated against, instead focusing upon another issue.
