When talking about “rape culture” in the west people are usually talking about on the the following phenomena:
Victim blaming, slut shaming, virgin shaming and an almost reflexive stance some people have to defend the rapist and try to absolve him.
The textbook case for “rape culture” is the Steubenville rape case. go look for it if you don’t remember what happened. There was a giant cover up and even once things came to light sources in the media lamented the ruined future of the rapists.
And no, rape culture is not a uniform thing we are all guilty of. Most people will never rape, it’s not in them those who do usually are bad people already. And as such most of us will try to protect the victims and prosecute rapists.
Yet still this is a big enough problem, there are elements (and by that i mostly mean people) that do make our society safer for rapists and so much more dangerous for woman.
