This is rape culture

Who considers the rape of a woman unimportant? Give me an example? The town of Steubenville, Ohio?

Steubenville was more of a problem based on corruption and privilege....not hatred of women. Im willing to bet the Steubenville boys were getting away with all sorts of mischief before they raped that girl. That gave them a feeling of being above the law. And that enabled them to think they can get away with it. And the town wanted them to get away with it because football was more important than anything those boys did. Those boys were given a celebrity status by that town.

Our justice system has a big problem. Justice isn't blind. There is a strong bias in favor of the wealthy and those who have a celebrity status within the society (race too, but wealth and status carry even more weight in a courtroom). Rape is NOT the only crime these folks get away with. Look at that kid down in Texas that drove drunk and killed 4 people. He got probation.

This is why "rape culture" theory I feel misses the big problem. People get off the hook from all sorts of different crimes. Zimmerman got away with murder. OJ got away with murder. Rape isn't the only crime this happens with.

Rape is an individual crime. It's not a society crime. If 97% of college men don't rape women, are you suggesting the 3% that do make up an entire culture upon the rest of society?
