Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

More banned than in most Western Cultures.
So they should have significantly less rape and sexual abuse of children if your theory about the connection to pornography is correct.

Do they?

Do we know that less people are watching porn in such countries?

I don't deny that some Muslim countries have a massive problem with the oppression of women.

In the UK, rape is effectively decriminalized.

Since when? I'm surprised I haven't heard of this. When was the last conviction and custodial sentence before the decriminalisation?

It's come up on the thread before - and the word 'effectively' is key.

Dame Vera Baird publishes her second annual report: “It has without doubt been an eventful year for victims and witnesses” - Victims Commissioner

The Victims’ Commissioner has today (Wednesday 21 July 2021) published her annual report, providing a retrospective of the work and achievements

If it's been 'effectively' decriminalised, then I won't be able to find any recent cases of prosecution and incarceration, right?

So not, in fact, decriminalised. Possibly grossly under prosecuted, but certainly not decriminalised.

I didn't say decriminalized and nor did Vera Baird.

A conviction rate of less than 2% is evidence of rape culture. We know that men. particularly young men, can and do act out what they have seen in porn.

No, you said effectively decriminalised. Which it isn't, if there are prosecutions. They hyperbole does not help your argument.

How would you describe a conviction rate of < 2%?

Adequate? Good? Excellent? Disgraceful?

Yes we do, as many IPs are blocked by the State.
Same in China, where the Great Firewall blocks a lot of porn.

And yet they are not less likely to have a problem with sexual abuse.
So you have absolutely no correlation whatsoever.

Interesting - what are your sources?

If Musk was anti-porn he would not allow it on his site. That is very useful knowledge about him.


You are implying that because Trump has employed him he must be 'okay'?

He's implying that his place in the Trump administration is yet another useless distinction, in the context of your theses.

You seem to want to ban porn. But now you're appealing to the fact that porn bans aren't 100% successful to claim that it still does harm. Do you not see the irony here?

Rape culture is defined as more than just 'rape'.

No ◊◊◊◊. Which is part of the problem with how you define it.

Because you have not put it to use. Again, other than attacking Musk, what relevance does any of this have to this thread? You have yet to say.

And you clearly think that the normalization of porn is no big deal - but do correct me if I am wrong.
