I read that article the other day.
It is...Cortney<br /><br />I read that article the other day.<br /><br />It is very powerful but I am still unsure of how I feel about the term.<br /><br />What in particular do you feel is the point underpinning the notion of a rape culture?<br /><br />Also is a society either containing a rape culture or not? Or is there varying degrees. If it varies slightly is it then not a rape culture? Can rape culture exist outside a patriarchy?A socialist open to criticismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619402773454709868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-49784914306058646492010-06-07T10:42:52.963-07:002010-06-07T10:42:52.963-07:00Yes I am not sure how I feel about the concept of ...Yes I am not sure how I feel about the concept of rape culture myself, particularly the term.<br /><br />However, I do think our society romanticises rape to a great extent.A socialist open to criticismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619402773454709868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-57557606427738849092010-06-07T08:33:59.151-07:002010-06-07T08:33:59.151-07:00@ feminist open: I was referring more to the emoti...@ feminist open: I was referring more to the emotionally damaging additive of repeated sex-offensive comments and behavior when I wrote "it all adds up." When you hear something a lot from different people, you start to take it on or carry that feeling with you, unless you consciously combat it.<br /><br />I have difficulty with the phrase "rape culture." Maybe it's my professional background (which ironically has tended to drive the term), but it seems a misuse of the word culture and what that actually means.<br />I appreciate you inviting me to read your blog, but I may not be your best anti-MRA (assuming you mean Male Rights Advocates?) writer.<br />I tend to try viewing topics through as neutral (or quirky) a lens as I can manage and often end up upsetting people on both sides of a particular issue, without intention. I've been accused of being both a feminazi and misogynist for holding the same views, which I just find funny.<br />I'll check out your blog.Social Workernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-25530045909990586342010-06-06T11:00:17.354-07:002010-06-06T11:00:17.354-07:00Ah you speak of a rape culture I assume.
