The term "Rape Culture" is Beneficial to society

I like what you're saying - "rape culture" causes us to defend ourselves against it and show that we actually know how to treat women and that we know rape is not a good thing.However, there's one major flaw there; We have to already know our views on misogyny before disputing someone else's claims on it. Most people know rape is bad. Telling people that they support rape because [insert irrelevant statistic here] is not going to change the fact that we already know rape is bad. The people who "support" rape aren't going to just change their mind all of a sudden because someone told them to. That's like sitting down and talking to a wife-beater and have him all of a sudden understand the error of his ways. And even that example isn't that great.The people who support the term Rape Culture believe it is rape if the girl has consumed alcohol. That means it hinders her ability to fully say "no," and therefore she was raped. This means if you go to a party, have a few drinks, the have sex with a girl, you raped her. And she actually can press charges (not like the cops are that irrational to actually follow through) as the Feminists have been trying to legally change the definition of rape [1] and how it can be punishable by prison time.I'd like to quote a sentence from a "blog" or something - " An added advantage of a performative (verbally saying yes or nodding) account is that it suggests that sexual consent is not a woman's implied default state, but rather must be actively and affirmatively granted."This makes sense when you first think about it, but after a second, you realize how ridiculous this sounds. Besides the buzzkill of her saying "yes I will have consensual sexual intercourse with you," if she doesn't verbally say yes or nod, you raped her. [2]I like your Evolution vs. Creation analogy a lot. However, there is a difference between saying "I believe this is how all matter came to be," and saying "you are a rapist and deserve to be locked up for life because you had sex with a girl while you were both a bit drunk." One is trying to find the origins of the Universe; helpful no matter what, even if it is a crazy ridiculous theory - and the other is attempting to lock up innocent men who haven't done anything wrong and ruin lives because... well to be honest I still don't know why Feminists want to change the definition of rape to things like that."#rapecultureiswhen teenage boys use rape as any other normal verb “dude I just RAPED you in CoD” — (@provocativelib) March 31,2014"This is taken from Twitter. We now support a horrible act of violence that destroys a person physically and mentally for years because we use it as a verb when talking with friends. I agree that if there is someone who is sensitive to this stuff present, we shouldn't use that term, but to say we support rape because we use it is absolutely ridiculous.Thanks for the questions.1. Yes. Accusing people of being a part of a rape culture separates the sexes. Men are scared to do anything with women (as practically anything they do is considered rape), and women are scared to even be around men (as practically all men are rapists.) Rape culture does nothing but degrade people. Apparently I support rape because I joke with friends and because I believe men and women should be taught to be safe instead of just saying "don't rape" to boys (we already do), which is something feminists want. And I have also raped girls several times, because they didn't verbally say yes, and I've had sex at parties while a bit drunk. So All rape culture has done is brand me a serial rapist. My opinion and definition of rape has not changed. To say that we are able to have this conversation and define terms and whatnot is great, but it doesn't mean rape culture is beneficial in any way. It would be like me saying "the colour white is green," it would accomplish nothing more than a conversation; our definitions on white and green will stay the same.2. No. Rape culture and rape awareness are completely different things. If someone accuses me of raping someone for [insert ridiculous reason here], I'm not going to think about how many raped go under reported. I'm going to tell them to go away and not accuse me of being a serial rapist again because that's anything from beneficial. I don't even know how we can legitimately raise awareness of rapes, but it sure isn't by accusing every man of being a rapist or supporter of rape.It's extremely hard to back up arguments regarding rape with credible sources, so don't sweat it, you don't really need many sources anyway, I get what you're saying. Thanks for the cartoon though! You should be careful though, rape jokes are never funny - here's something to help. [3] [1] http://www.feminist.org... [2] http://plato.stanford.edu...
