I noticed something too this isnt directly related to this thread. But why outside of
@konceptjones nobody speaks on boys being abused by older women? We live in a society ran by men but men cant see a woman as being a predator or themselves as prey. And nobody seems to care how bad it can mess up a boy into adulthood. Ive noticed outside of koncept yall never speak on that?
Because rape culture exists, but opposite of the way you've been led to believe it exists.
The universally accepted textbook definition of rape culture only works in our society if you switch it to female on male rape.
As a society, we've normalized female on male rape. It's the only form of rape that's almost universally accepted as "ok" and that there's no real victim.
As a society, we trivialize female on male rape to the point where society at large doesn't believe it exist even when the empirical evidence says otherwise.
As a society, male victims of all ages should be happy a woman forced herself on him and any male, young or old, is probably gay if he isn't.
Female on male rape is rarely taken seriously by the authorities and they only act on it when they're forced to do so i.e. the several thousand female teachers arrested on such charges.
Even when arrested, female perpetrators of rape are rarely convicted or if they are convicted they receive far lighter sentences than their male counterparts.
In our society female on male rape is a joke and victims, even when they speak out as such, are made fun of even by the police.
Sexual harassment from women towards men is completely tolerated and, as with a female forcing herself on a male, the guy must be gay if he doesn't like it.
Female on male rape is celebrated in movies and on television, particularly when it comes to underage boys with grown women. Even one of the hood's most beloved movies, Juice, had a whole running subplot with underage Quincy and his adult nurse girlfriend Yolanda, including having her clearly disgusted grown ex Frank describe him as "just a kid". Others would be The Last American Virgin, Class, My Tutor, and probably half of the teenage, "coming of age" flicks with a high school male as the central character that came out in the 70's through the early 90's.
That's why nobody talks about it. It's completely normalized. Nobody believes themselves to be a victim because society told everyone that they weren't. When this was brought up during the course of another thread on the IC there ended up being a whole lotta dudes admitting to having been victimized by older girls or flat out grown women but no one that admitted it really saw themselves as a victim.
That's the true effect of rape culture.
