The Golden Phoenix Girl

Becauseiamawoman said: Rape culture may be somewhat related to an unwillingness to confront sexual realities and a culture that also glorifies violence, but a more accurate definition would be something along the lines of a culture where sexual assault and rape are not only common, but excused, accepted, and/or tolerated by the practices and norms of the culture. All of these things are definitly connected, and rape culture may not actually be the best term to use (although I cannot think of a better term), but I definitely do not believe that rape is a side effect of not confronting sexual realities. That would also mean that rape is largely about sex, and it very often is not.
