I just dont see that.3) I don't think we should base an objective analysis as a neutral person based on what defence says. They are going to come up with illogical arguments to save a criminal. Wha matters is what the judge said. For example does anyone from a normal family tells their son that "girl is easy". I dont think that conversation takes place in familiesIn conclusion, I guess whats happening here is that you are mixing two issues. On one hand is general view where women who wear short skirts are seen as inviting others for rape. On the other hand we have a family finding same women as of low moral values. I think there is big difference between the tow.In context of family its not about inviting, tintilating etc. Its just their opinion. This should not be part of rape culture. Still maybe I am not getting it so I dont want to drag it either. lol. You guys can perhaps discuss on.
Family upbringing is part of rape culture. Rape culture doesn't exist in a vacuum out there somewhere. It is part of intimate family life, and it is a part of desires, the way we think, and how we treat one another. It is normalized. Rape culture includes jokes, opinions, proverbs, you name it. And so yes, it's very common for us to think in this way. That's why it is so hard to get rid of rape culture, but it is possible.
Rape culture is not a defense against individual accountability for rape. However, it does give us some viable ways of preventing rape. That's the real goal.
Moralizing over a woman's chastity or honour is integrally linked to patriarchal attitudes about women's sexuality. Short skirts are given meaning in this context as s**tty, as immoral, inviting rape, etc. Without that ideology, a short skirt would just be a short skirt. It would be blue or green or red, not s**tty or immoral.
