Who said that rape is ok? If it's happening in increasing amounts, there has to be winking going on, sorry, that's just how I view it. Think of rap music and what was done during the 1980s-now, inner city violence was winked at, and so, it increased. Even if I was a martian, just stepping into America around 1980s, listening to rap music and listening to the news everyday and I would have wondered what was going on in the inner city, all that violence, maybe, I would also wonder if this act (violence) isn't somehow either encouraged or winked (ignored, one sees it and pretends they don't). if the act is increasing, it's either winked at or encouraged. and culture, to me, means "cultivate", rehearse, or mantra. so, if people rehearse "negativity" and everyone sees negativity, what would someone outside think? it derived from rehearsal/culture. the rape would mean that the culture/rehearsals/ thinking either winks at rape or teaches that people don't have a right to their own minds/thoughts, so if a person says "no", then taking it isn't a big issue,maybe even fun to them b/c they now dominated that person's free will, we call that rape, they may not have a definition for it if they don't recognize the rights of another person's thoughts/wishes.i am only guessing here, so, nothing is itched in stone.
