"patriarchal terrorism" fostered the infamous, rape culture. Rape culture being, as defined by mainstream feminist, as being "a complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women. It is a society where violence is seen as sexy and sexuality as violent. In a rape culture, women perceive a continuum of threatened violence that ranges from sexual remarks to sexual touching to rape itself. A rape culture condones physical and emotional terrorism against women as the norm . . . In a rape culture both men and women assume that sexual violence is a fact of life, inevitable . . . However . . . much of what we accept as inevitable is in fact the expression of values and attitudes that can change. "

Now. how the fuck do we live in a rape culture where raping women is a societal norm when we have always taken the rape and abuse of women very seriously. All throughout history this has been the case. Obviously we do not live in a rape culture. Never have under patriarchy. If rape of women was condoned throughout history why does rape make its appearance in religious dogma as being a sin? If its accepted and condoned why would it be looked down upon by ancient society?

Question: "What does the Bible say about rape?"

Answer: The Bible does address the issue of rape. As expected, when the Bible mentions the crime of rape, it is depicted as a gross violation of God’s design for the treatment of the human body (Genesis 34). The Bible condemns rape whenever it is mentioned. For example, there is a particular passage in the laws given to the nation of Israel before entering the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership. This passage (Deuteronomy 22:13-29) spoke directly against forcing a woman into a sexual encounter against her will, or what we know today as rape. This command was meant to protect women and to protect the nation of Israel from committing sinful actions.

well i would suggest that based off the fact that no current laws exist to protect men from female rapist, that feminist strongy appose and lobby against changes to said law, and that any assertion that it should be changed gets met with slanger "mysogynist" "rape enabler"

First of all the irony in them using tactics like saying rape enabler to shun/silence and individual from speaking out about rape of men is in fact rape enabling. To use the term rape enabler to enable rape is ridiculous.

Secondly, the active stone walling of any proposal to change the law is also rape enabling. So if any supposed rape culture exist i would suggest that it is a culture that condones and enables the rape of men.

To take the slander part further down the rabbit hole feminist theory of rape culture, as defined as men perpatrators condoned by society towards women, gets disproven the moment those shaming tactics work. Why if we live in a rape culture, as defined by feminists, if such claims can not only silence someone but also effect their social status and their careers. If we lived in a rape culture then a women calling a man a mysoginist wouldn't bare any weight. Like if you called a clans member a nigger hater. What the fuck would that do to silence him?

Rape Culture is a classic guilt and fear tactic of an ideology. It tells women that without Feminism they will be raped and men that if Feminism doesn't fix them in some way they will become rapists; fear for women, guilt for men, conformity from both.

By making your enemies vague and suggesting that rape is not the fault of certain outsider individuals but rather the fault of indefinite societal trends of thinking, Feminism gives itself the ability to accuse dissenters of being responsible for the rape of women. Ironically it is our culture's extreme detest for rape and rapists that allows the rape culture idea to exist since in denying it you are by implication part of the problem, and people who hurt women come second only to people who hurt children in those that society despises.

A (feminist) friend of mine at Oxford University had to go to a 'Good Boy' workshop recently in which they teach you not to rape people. He assured me it 'wasn't patronizing'. We're bringing back original sin.

"'Police officers acting on a 9-1-1 dispatch found overturned furniture inside an East Lampeter Township home on March 10.

A knife and bottle of vodka also were found at the home where a woman claimed she was raped by a stranger at midnight.

Further investigating - including a review of a Fitbit activity tracker - showed the scene was staged and 43-year-old Jeannine Risley knowingly filed a false report, police allege.

Risley is now headed to trial on three misdemeanor counts for prompting the emergency response and manhunt for an intruder that allegedly never was.'"

Things like this need to be talked about. Not to hate on women, and think negatively about women as a group based off of one individual women's decision. Rather to get people to get over that whole notion all together. It is like you can not even bring things like this up without being called a rape enabler. Which that doesn't make any sense…why would bringing up false reports and trying to stop that be, in any way, enabling actual rape of women? That doesn't even begin to make sense, but it is what you risk being called when you try to talk about this sort of thing.

>How the fuck do we live in a rape culture

Obviously, as you point out, we don't. The real issue is trying to convince people that believe it exists that it doesn't. Like trying to debate with someone whether to coffee cup you're drinking out of is a coffee cup or a horse.

>Rape Culture is a classic guilt and fear tactic of an ideology.

What people need to start pointing out is;

If rape culture was a real thing then why would calling a man a rape enabler or misogynist have any effect on them? The very moment it works as a strategy to shame/silence an individual is the moment rape culture gets proven to be false. If rape culture exists, as they define it to be (men use rape and emotional terrorism, AND THIS IS A FUNCTION OF SOCIETY'S NORM) then calling a man a rape enabler would be like calling a clan member a nigger hater 100 years ago. It was fully accepted in the society back then to not care about black people and actively discriminated against them. They would, if anything, take a sense of pride in being called a nigger hater. Much the same as men being hated now is a function of society's norm. What feminist shuts up if they are called out for misandry? None.

>(men use rape and emotional terrorism, AND THIS IS A FUNCTION OF SOCIETY'S NORM)

Men use rape and emotional terrorism as a means to dominate women and that this is a function of society's norm. Often accompanying the notion that since it is a function of society's norms it is therefor condoned and enabled by said society.

point being. More people need to be educated on what you and i already know.

Like, if we could get more men to give this as their response to being called these things. If each time it wasn't met with a successful and overwhelmingly oppressive silence, but rather pointing out it doesn't make sense. It would have the benefit of at least getting people who have no been indoctrinated. The other benefit is getting men to not shut up or feel shamed. For if they are not rape enablers they wouldn't feel shame when being called one. More men. and women, need to start to become aware of this.

They've made an app to literally record your consent to having sex with another person. It records a 20 second clip where you name the person you want to sleep with and you have to clearly say "yes" or the recording deletes itself.

The answer to the terrible affirmative consent laws
