We don’t have a rape culture, we have a victim culture

Article here. Excerpt:

'It takes courage to tell a bunch of Canadian feminists marchers against ‘rape culture’ that they are talking rubbish. And courage is something Lauren Southern, a reporter for The Rebel, appears to have in abundance. She had the guts to go to a ‘SlutWalk’ in Vancouver holding a sign that said: ‘There is no rape culture in the west’. You can see her video above.

Lauren made the not unreasonable point that Canada is hardly a rapist’s paradise. ‘Rapists go to prison here,’ says Lauren. ‘Rapists are actually hated here. Rapists are fired from their jobs. Men who make rape jokes are fired from their jobs.’ But it is lost on the SlutWalkers, who are so desperate to talk about — and display — their bodies that they will not listen to reason.

That’s partly because, in 21st century English, rape has become a stun-grenade of a word: its utterance blows up common sense. And common sense suggests that westerners don’t live in a rape culture. We live in a victim culture — the perfect expression of which is a group of women daubing themselves with the word slut and walking about un-dressed in the name of drawing attention to the issue of sexual violence. They are really drawing attention to themselves.'
