Rape Accusation Culture

Rape Accusation Culture

To hear some people tell it, there exists a culture where rape is socially acceptable. Not under some foreign “Islamo-fascist” regime in a land far far away, but right here in America. All over the world, really. It’s something of a conspiracy, perpetrated by the elusive patriarchy. A large, and growing number of radical ideologues are promoting this concept of “rape culture” and demanding something be done to stop it.

Now, this is pretty clever on their part. Starting a political movement that claims to be opposed to rape sounds good, right? I mean, who doesn’t oppose rape?

Wait a second, there’s a problem here. On the one hand, rape is socially acceptable, hence the concept of rape culture to begin with. On the other hand we have a population who dives right in without thinking, as soon as you say you oppose rape. How can these two things exist in the same universe?
