Rape culture is not measured quantitatively by rapes reported/estimated. Please either go back to your men's rights hideyhole or actively get off the internet and start speaking to women active in the space of feminism to educate yourself on the subject. I will not be responding to you further

It seems detrimental to the cause to simply say "You are wrong, your evidence is wrong, and I'm not going to tell you why.", let alone the unnecessary insults.

I am not going to spend the paragraphs of effort to define my terms to somebody who has clearly gone through their life without bothering to even try to understand feminism. They have to go out and educate themselves at this point.

Why? The onus isn't on a person who has given you the evidence to prove you wrong to invalidate their own evidence.

You don't have to "spend the paragraphs of effort", just provide something which shows their evidence, which they base their stance on, is incorrect.

Evidence or gtfo. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

I presented my evidence in the form of official FBI statistics.

Rape culture isn't about rapes. It's about a pervasive culture of misogyny that constantly demeans, shames, and objectifies women. Please go out and become educated on the subject rather than getting all of your information on this complex, multifaceted subject matter.

I'd love to be educated about this topic. I am always eager to learn new things and broaden my horizons. I don't shy away from complex, multifaceted subject matters. It's just that, to learn, I need facts. I need something tangible and you fail to give me that.

Get cracking. There are literally decades of social discourse you are behind on.

Does this help?

Rape culture isn't about rapes.

Perhaps using more accurate names would make the education you're asking the parent poster to go get more accessible.
