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

Yes it would be a start if parents behaved responsibly - but even if they did (#1,767):

The Oxford Internet Institute (research and teaching department of the University of Oxford): Parental controls ineffective at preventing teens from seeing pornography, new research finds

I've quoted Rachel De Souza, Daniel Kebede and others who say that we need to legislate - that 'parents cannot stop the tide of this stuff'.

Are you aware it hasn't been in force (in regard to age verification) for a month yet? It's new - there would be no data available.

I have checked the website I used to do the research that showed your opinion on the fictional scenarios most popular was incorrect, that was Pornhub and that now requires age verification. I could no longer do the research I did unless I submitted to its request to verify my age. So that's at least one example that shows it is working.

Oh yeah. Legislation solves so many problems.

No idea - why would I try that and not go through age verification?

If you have no idea then averring that UK isn't tolerating children seeing porn isn't saying much. It seems that VPNs are easily available.

OFCOM spokesperson reported by The Independent:
People should be aware that children and adults who use a VPN to bypass age checks will not benefit from the wider protections offered by our online safety rules.
 
Here's a reminder of what we are dealing with:
Barnardo’s said children are “too easily” able to access extreme content, including rape, incest, domestic abuse and child sexual abuse....
