That doesn't excuse the rapist's actions.
Not a single person has "excused" a rapist in any post in this thread.
The silliness is in the creating of the hypothetical scenario of a dude purposely getting the girl drunk (outside of her ability to figure out and cope) and then having sex as some nefarious and pervasive "culture" that is being ignored by us non-rapey men.
It is goofy.
There are BAD people.
There are white collar thieves and thug robbers. There are murderers, arsonists, swindlers, cheats, pick-pockets, shoplifters, and vandals.
Why are we pointing to one "crime"...inventing scenarios under which it SOMETIMES occurs...and then lamenting this "culture"?

I'm still waiting for Hawkeye or someone else to describe this culture....Nobody has done so yet, except to point to people CHOOSING to drink of their own volition.

Because it boils down complex issues into cutesy, emotionally-laden talking points used by open-minded, protectors of humanity, liberal progressives to feel good about themselves as they take up a media-concocted cause to rally around.
See: gun control
ETA: BTW I know your question was rhetorical
