What is rape culture?

A teacher here in Portland is under fire, and may well lose his job because he wrote a paper that basically stated that "rape culture" is a theory that is not based in reality and that he has never met anybody who felt that rape was anything but a heinous crime.
The school has apologized for this and is offering counseling to students who are traumatized by this teacher's opinion.
What exactly is, "Rape culture"? If we have a rape culture, do we not also have a "Violent Protest culture"? Or what a about a "Militant PC culture"? How about a "Islamic terrorist culture"?
I'm honestly trying to figure this out. Is young men trying to get into young ladies pants considered part of this new "Rape culture"? I mean, that's been going on since the dawn of time and will always be part of our culture.
Is it something else? I will post some of what I've found in the next post.

Rape is like baptism for feminists. You have to have some sort of victimhood from something to qualify. This lead to an expanded definition of rape and violence.
Denying rape culture is denying feminists their religion.

A man even expressing any sexual interest in a woman when that woman doesn't appreciate his interest is rape culture.
Seriously true. You can have in an office three people, a pretty woman, a handsome man, and a nerd.
The handsome man could walk up and just grab the chicks arse and straight up tell her he wanted to PIIHB and that's cool and she feels sexy, but if the nerd even asked her out for coffee "sexual harassment, that's rape culture right there"
long story short, women are stupid.

This definition, by Emilie Buchwald, author of Transforming a Rape Culture, describes that when society normalizes sexualized violence, it accepts and creates rape culture. In her book she defines rape culture as
quote:
a complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women. It is a society where violence is seen as sexy and sexuality as violent. In a rape culture, women perceive a continuum of threatened violence that ranges from sexual remarks to sexual touching to rape itself. A rape culture condones physical and emotional terrorism against women as the norm . . . In a rape culture both men and women assume that sexual violence is a fact of life, inevitable . . . However . . . much of what we accept as inevitable is in fact the expression of values and attitudes that can change.

A culture that beleives that rape is a right.

I really feel bad for kids these days. They are being disserviced by the intentional sheltering. We are going to be fricked when there is no one left who knows how to handle listening to and considering an opposing opinion in an argument.

Yes. The definition of rape has changed. Women can literally make up anything and call it rape now. Say a girl looks good online and that could be considered rape. Smiling at a girl or looking her in the eye could be considered rape. Its just more made up sjw nonsense.

I still struggle to understand how this doesn't undermine women who are legitimately raped, or in sjw rape culture terminology have experienced not just rape, but "rape rape"

They're following the tools learned from watching black leaders effectively use the "racist" tag. "Racist" is a stigmatizing term. We've watched racism expand from actual racism to negative things involving another race to even positive stereotypes relating to a particular race. Wielding the "racist" sword provides power.
Meanwhile, women are sitting over there with "sexist" which just has no weight behind it. "Rape," however, is a very stigmatizing and powerful term. Thus, like black leaders, they have sought to include as much as possible within the confines of that term. If "rape" were limited to actual rape, it could be used less frequently, against fewer people, thereby providing less power to to the radical feminist contingent.
Of course, both groups are going to eventually dilute the terms so much that usage will lose all credibility. But who knows, maybe by that time they'll successfully have indoctrinated enough dumb young people with this shite that it'll stick.

Good luck figuring that out. 1/2 the girls I knew liked me being rougher than I planned on being.
Will never figure out women, but slut-shaming f-ed their heads up along the way, & my best educated theory is thus helps alleviate the guilt they have when force fantasies cross their mind.
Unfortunately sometimes these days a dude pays a heavy price when running into a crazy- attention-regret-whore. But best believe legit rapists deserve the worst fate imaginable, don't get me started

Now that I've posted the definition, I have to ask, is this really happening? I agree with the teacher, FWIW. I've spent my life working in corporate environments, and sexual aggression is not acceptable. People lose their jobs over this stuff. Having said that, not every workplace is the same, and I'm not saying it doesn't exist - just look at Fox News.
I'm just saying that we have come a long way to make sure that the work environment isn't all about who's banging who. That was not the case when I started working in the 1980's.
I feel the same thing about race relations. I never here racist comments in the work place, anymore, yet, according to the news, we're a more racist country than we've ever been.
It seems that with respect to our societal problems, when we get close to winning the race, we want to turn around and go backwards when we get close to the finish line...

Basically this.
In reality, there is an actual problem with women being expected to undergo some levels of sexual harassment, threats of rape, and victim shaming, but feminists conflate the real problems with the imagined and it ends up just being a tool of progressivism directed against white male institutions like fraternities, prominent businesses run by white men, or against university athletic departments. It's just a tool for destroying institutions that otherwise would resist progressive ideas like critical race-theory and the redistribution of wealth.

I have two 18 year-old daughters and I don't know what I would do if some a-hole raped them. I try to tell them to wait until they are ready and not to ever give in to the pressure to say "Yes" if they are not ready. That being said, I tell them that teenage boys are pigs and that they will do/say anything to talk you into it. Just be ready and don't let them get you to do anything you don't want to do.
Having said that, I don't think any of us want to be a part of a society where boys trying to get girls in the sack is criminalized. Boys forcing girls is another story altogether...

Because there is a group of people out there with a vested financial interest to make sure we never cross the line.

Defending pieces of shite because 'that's how men are' or 'locker room talk'.

"Rape Culture" can be found in many of the immigrant-laden cities of Europe. It definitely does exist.
