I didn't say they were, and no, radical feminism is separate.
So you have no answer then?

Thought you meant the whole thing. To respond to your post as short as I can, just because it is something that a few individuals do (such as in the minority) doesn't mean we can label it a culture. The same way we cannot say America is a Spanish culture despite having many factors that would make it a spanish culture. When I said no one, I should have said minorities do it
That's not a part of rape culture...
Ah ! sorry about that failed to get my point across sufficiently more i tried to correct it. it became more complicated
i was just answering quote op posted i was saying that it's a false logic .
Because it's inaccurate to attribute "rape culture" to American culture as a whole. Movements and belief systems are updated all the time as time goes on to improve them. "Rape culture" going from a term to describe American culture as a whole to describing specific phenomenon that is acknowledged as separate from overall culture is a progress.For starters, you're citing Wikipedia as your source, when in an academia, citing Wikipedia as a source is unreliable and avoided; I've been taught this since middle school. The only other place the wiki's definition coincides with an already existing definition of rape culture is in third wave feminist blogs and articles.
But why is it that third wave feminist's definition of rape culture no longer defines rape culture as a "culture", but as a "setting" or "environment" when compared to second wave feminist's original definition of rape culture, which is used in a vast majority of scholarly journals, that defines rape culture as a "culture", "society", or "societal influence"?
Why is it when women's right activist fight against so called rape culture, that they do not target the individual microaggression's that they claim to be defined as rape culture, but try to hold American culture, the media, and society as a whole accountable for rape culture?
This is a simple case of "moving the goal post" fallacy. My problem with your argument is that you base it upon a faulty definition of rape culture.
Re- read what I said. Rape culture hinges that these things mentioned are done by a majority of people in society
This isn't the first time this has been done in linguistics. Examples include Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, Theodore Roosevelt's "Square Deal," Herbert Spencer referring to society as a "biological organism," or even concepts in sociology like "functions" and "dysfunctions." People twist words and use them without their actual meaning all the time.- Feminist coined rape culture (unrelated to what a culture is because feminist like making their own words or phrases)
Spanish Culture
- Spanish people are a phenomenon in an English speaking society
- There are several factors that can represent the same argument being made for rape culture
- You deny it because you're taking culture at face value
This specific case you bring up is referred to as rape culture when people call those reporting their rapes liars without any proof that they're actually lying. When you generalize all people who are reporting rapes as liars because a portion of that population is lying about it, you discourage people from reporting rapes. When you discourage people from reporting rapes, more rapists get away with the crime, incentivizing them to commit the crimes again, or others to commit it themselves."Calling college students who have the courage to report their rapes liars." is counted as a part of rape culture despite several cases of people lying about rape.
Yet this has been deemed a part of rape culture by other feminist and because you say it's not normalizing it, then it must be true. I don't see this happening on a scale of a "culture." Some people who ask this question (such as prosecutes and defense attorney)
You're taking a word a twisting it to fit your narrative. Don't see how you don't see the logic in that. That's like me taking the color red and start a movement of all blue and then say
Hurr durr: It doesn't matter what the dictionary says, this is the red movement of all of us wearing blue because I say so. It doesn't matter what the description, defintion or factual information we have on the color red. I made it so that's that.
"(of a man) insert the penis into the vagina or anus of (a sexual partner)."
Will agree with this part though since idk how the legal preceding go
His confession where he says "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful. I don't wait, I just kiss them."Where is your evidence that he did it?
Now it's up to you to prove that he did in actually do it. Because I've a friend that said she sucked D*** but admitted to being a virgin
Extremism.And what is that a subset of Riker?
Its illogical to label the acts of an individual as a staple of a collective unless there is some form of group mentality behind those actions.
Your argument is based off a preconceived falsehood that has no basis, which is third wave feminism's definition of rape culture. From there, you go on spouting that rape culture exists based on the examples third wave feminists use to define rape culture, which sends everyone in a loop trying to debate your faulty points. You're a sham.
Because you say so?
It's not separate, it's a subset of feminism. Let me bring the facts like I always have to do
"The no true scotsman fallacy is a way of reinterpreting evidence in order to prevent the refutation of one’s position. Proposed counter-examples to a theory are dismissed as irrelevant solely because they are counter-examples, but purportedly because they are not what the theory is about."
"The No True Scotsman fallacy involves discounting evidence that would refute a proposition, concluding that it hasn’t been falsified when in fact it has.
If Angus, a Glaswegian, who puts sugar on his porridge, is proposed as a counter-example to the claim “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge”, the ‘No true Scotsman’ fallacy would run as follows:
(1) Angus puts sugar on his porridge.
(2) No (true) Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.
Therefore:
(3) Angus is not a (true) Scotsman.
Therefore:
(4) Angus is not a counter-example to the claim that no Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
You're the only one who still thinks it's a being labeled a culture.Thought you meant the whole thing. To respond to your post as short as I can, just because it is something that a few individuals do (such as in the minority) doesn't mean we can label it a culture.
Your source on this? Link to a post where anyone in this thread said this?
Are you saying that in order for something to exist in American society as a phenomenon, it has to be its own culture?
This isn't the first time this has been done in linguistics. Examples include Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, Theodore Roosevelt's "Square Deal," Herbert Spencer referring to society as a "biological organism," or even concepts in sociology like "functions" and "dysfunctions." People twist words and use them without their actual meaning all the time.
Not a valid argument because no one but you is likening "rape culture" to an actual culture. Everyone you're arguing against have already acknowledged that "rape culture" doesn't apply to the entirety of American culture, so your "Spanish culture" argument no longer holds any merit.
This specific case you bring up is referred to as rape culture when people call those reporting their rapes liars without any proof that they're actually lying. When you generalize all people who are reporting rapes as liars because a portion of that population is lying about it, you discourage people from reporting rapes. When you discourage people from reporting rapes, more rapists get away with the crime, incentivizing them to commit the crimes again, or others to commit it themselves.
When a particular attitude normalizes rape such as in the above example, then yes, it's rape culture. There's nothing wrong with being skeptical with rape allegations and approaching them thoroughly to determine the truth, but immediately labeling any person reporting a rape as a liar is not the same thing as being skeptical and thorough.
Allow me to rephrase: Normalizing and trivializing rape does not mean only to glorify it. Glorifying rape or a rapist is ONE form of rape culture, but it's not the ONLY way to normalize or trivialize rape culture. That is what I was trying to convey to you, since your argument hinged on glorifying a rapist being the only possible form of rape culture.
Like I said before, this doesn't prove that rape culture doesn't exist, this is an argument for why the term "rape culture" is inappropriate. If you started this "blue movement" and named it the "Red Movement," then I wouldn't be able to say the movement doesn't exist, even though I can say the title of the movement doesn't fit. That's what you're trying to do here.
That's not what it means. It doesn't say that the rapist must commit penetration, it says penetration must occur without consent of the victim. If a woman rapes a man, there is penetration without consent.
His confession where he says "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful. I don't wait, I just kiss them."
Your friend lying invalidates any and all confessions?
Extremism.
The No-Scotsman Fallacy doesn't apply to this conversation of ours about feminism. This fallacy refers to when one makes a universal claim about a subject, and then when someone points out an example of this subject that violates this claim, the person making the universal claim alters the standards of the subject to exclude the example showing the opposite.
I never changed the standards of what defines a feminist. By your logic, radical Islam is the same as normal Islam and the two can't be differentiated from each other because "No true scotsman."
You're the only one who still thinks it's a being labeled a culture.
You said Dylan Roof, did you mean Brock Turner? Roof was the guy who shot up a black church.

How so? What is your argument to back up that none of those examples are attempts to reduce the severity of rape or to take away blame from the perpetrators?
I agree. This is why if I set you on fire, you're to blame for wearing flammable clothing, right? Or I shoot you, it's your fault for not wearing bulletproof body armor, correct? Or I kidnapped your child, it's your fault for not reinforcing your home enough to prevent me from getting in and out?
The things you mentioned are done deliberately by an individual, on the other hand, having *** with a drunken person is not always deliberate.If both are not sober?
The person who made the rape allegation should face legal repercussions and the player should be compensated for the damages the false allegation caused him if the person that made the allegations did so knowing he didn't rape them.
Please elaborate on this, I can't wait to hear how being a single mother causes men to be arrested.
Which is an example of rape culture that I myself listed.
Sadly, I've met several Men that glorified rape and not in a joking manner.
And if not glorifying rape, they'll definitely objectify women. It's a norm. Always has been. Name me one guy You personally know that has been gangraped by women after being drugged. I can name You a handful of women that I know personally that went Through Just that.
I agree, It's disgusting how some females use this fact in their benefit by lying about being harrassed by a male. Those women are beyond shameful. Especially when You think of the ones that actually suffer every moment of the day for the rest of their shit lives, the ones that actually have been abused and worse, that haven't received justice. It's a huge slap in the face for them.
Nice anecdote, but doesn't mean it's true in general.
(Some) men objectify women because women behave like that. You dress like a slut, you get treated like a slut.
Doesn't the crowd expect you to perform when you walk in the circus in the outfit of a clown?
1. At least two of the examples I've listed in this thread involved people that were charged as guilty of rape, so in at least two of them, a rape did take place. On the other hand, in one of the examples, a man confessed that he has committed sexual assault, enjoys committing sexual assault, and that he was more than likely going to commit it again that very day.There was no rape in the first place.
You are definitely able to control whether you wear flammable clothing, or bulletproof armor, or how secure your house is.I was saying in this context:
The things you mentioned are done deliberately by an individual, on the other hand, having *** with a drunken person is not always deliberate.
Also, I cannot control the factors related to what you said. But I sure can control the extent to which I get intoxicated.
Yeah, but that women didn't face any charges. The player's career is ruined.
Even if that women was prosecuted for the false allegations, she would have been punished 1/3 of what a man would be punished for if he's done the same.
"85% of youths grew up in fatherless homes"

[/QUOTE]But according to the definition, men can hardly get charged with rape crimes.
Slutty looks and behaviour or not, they'll get objectified regardless. It's an eyesore To See my fellow Men address any woman aside of their relatives as '*****es' or '*****'.
For the ones that do dress and behave slutty, fair enough. You're asking for attention. But then there are those degenerate cave Men, some fueled by religious crap, that justify rape. As these women would be 'asking for it'. You'd be shocked To know how many Men think that way.
You are definitely able to control whether you wear flammable clothing, or bulletproof armor, or how secure your house is.
Good for you, I'm saying in the context of a sober person attempting to have *** with a person they know is drunk. I've already addressed the context you are talking about with a different viewpoint, so it has no bearings on my viewpoint towards the concept I just specified.
@the rest: I suppose then you have records of men who were charged with making false rape allegations and the records shows that they received 3 times more punishment than women who have?
This doesn't prove what you're saying. You're saying that a woman being a single mother is the cause of men being in jail. How is this correlation caused? Simply listing a stat that 85% of youths grew up in fatherless homes isn't proof that men go to jail because of single mothers.
What part of the definition dictates this? Bear in mind that rape culture includes attitudes that shame and joke about male victims of rape rather than help them as one would help a female victim.
Non-sluts don't get objectified in general.
Again, your anecdotes don't count. Many men don't address women as *****es or sluts.
You wanna play with fire and expect not to get burnt?[/]
And yet, many do.
Addressing the latter part; that right there is shaming the victim. Come on now, let that brain of yours rattle for a bit. Do we really need To go in This part of the discussion? There is not a single good reason for a woman or man, To Be forced into a traumatizing experience. Looking attractive and flaunting it is not a good reason. Tame down that cave men logic.
Either you're able to give consent or not. Getting shot is analogous to being raped because you can't give intent while drunk because it's a perpetrator knowingly taking advantage of your victim's vulnerability.But, for example, you getting shot. It's black and white. Either you get shot or not.
Not so with the issue we are talking about. You yourself addressed a grey area in this context.
And your analogues are not correct. Getting "raped" while drunk is not analogous to being shot. On the other hand, getting raped while sober (without his/her fault) can be somewhat analogous to it.
While I think this should be rectified, it's convenient that you left this out:Your liberal blindfold is separating you from reality.

Now, let's not play dumb. This is what the statistics say, I don't know how can you deny it. It's direct/indirect relation and causation. This is actually the same method we used to deduce that cigarettes causes lung cancer when it was first revealed, IIRC.
Feminist rallying was a driving force behind the FBI definition of rape being changed so that men could be legally considered rape victims. Before that, the legal definition of rape excluded men as victims. There is no feminist rhetoric that says men can't be raped(and no, before you pull a BomplexBity, radicial feminism is separate from feminism).But according to the feminists, men can't get raped.

Our argument has been the same thing being said over and over. I'm not gonna reply to arguments I've already refuted.

Says you.Except you haven't you refuted anything???![]()
Funny how I just talked with a few feminists who said rape culture is a part of American culture, but by your logic they're not true feminist because like I said, feminist can't agree on anything
