Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
Rape culture is a culture in which people who have survived a violent crime are asked to laugh about it because other people think it’s funny.
TRIGGER WARNING for the images below the fold, these are examples of the sexism and misogyny men display with impunity, often under their real name and with their picture attached, on social media.

I love it when people deny that we live in a rape culture. It allows me to easily identify them as people who are purposefully disconnected with reality. With evidence like this that isn’t even hard to find, it’s impossible to deny, but some still chose to. I mean, these guys are using their real names to admit that they would be inhuman monsters and doing so in a very public venue. I mean, their mothers could see this shit.

I can’t remember the exact numbers, but in A Level psychology we looked at a study showing that a shocking number of male American College students. Would rape a girl if they thought they wouldn’t get caught.

And dudes will still look at you blankly when you say things like “we live in a rape culture”. Usually followed by, “you’re being too sensitive”…

This is part of rape culture, and why access to contraception/abortion are so important:
