(3,978 posts)the anthropological definition of culture is the transmissions of cultural traditions and customs from ancestor to descendant..generation to generation in a lineagu of a group, ethnicity or society. For rape culture to be a true culture it must be transmitted and taught because no human being is born with knowledge about culture. Your cultural worldview is effected by what you are taught at an early age and you are continually shaped by these ideas till the age of 25 years old when your brain fully matures since humans undergo a long ontogeny.
For rape culture to be learned collectively it has to be taught by someone. The majority of teachers in the U.S. are females and that doesn't change until the university level and I reject the idea that female teachers of our country indirectly teach our children such a culture. The majority of voters in the U.S. currently are females and the average age of our population is increasing.
So ask again a simple question? Who or what group is teaching this rape culture?
Who is enabling such a culture to exist?
