But instead, I found this. Rape culture can often be a difficult, abstract concept to explain to people. This explanation is probably the most comprehensive, easy to understand explanation I've found: http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2009/10/rape-culture-101.html
"Rape culture is rape being used as a weapon, a tool of war and genocide and oppression. Rape culture is rape being used as a corrective to "cure" queer women. Rape culture is a militarized culture and "the natural product of all wars, everywhere, at all times, in all forms." "
"Rape culture is boys under 10 years old knowing how to rape."
"Rape culture is the narrative that sex workers can't be raped. Rape culture is the assertion that wives can't be raped. Rape culture is the contention that only nice girls can be raped."
And she goes on and on with examples like this.
Wow.
