Rape Culture

I'm not sure why you're arguing with me that "rape culture" exists in prisons, since I'm the one who brought it up in the first place specifically as a counter to what is commonly held to be "rape culture" in the mainstream. So how does all of this tie in with the feminist interpretation of rape culture as it applies to half of the human population? People have no problem with murderers, rapists and pedophiles being raped in maximum security prisons (not to mention killed, shived, beat up, tortured, stripped of as much comfort and freedom as possible, etc, etc but I'm sure that's due to a totally separate socially constructed manipulation born of consumerism) therefore rape of women is common and accepted? What?

The difference is I link it to the (again, common to practically every culture that has ever existed) desire for justice and laws based on retribution, instead of some nonsensical word salad attempting to tie it to consumerism and capitalism, and by extension "modern" "western" societies. That you attempt to do so is due to your blatantly anti-capitalist, anti-western interpretation of existence. Is there ever anything morally repugnant in society that is not caused by it? It really seems like your go-to conclusion.

Uh... imposing your will on someone as a way to gain leverage in your un-leveraged life is a bit larger than sex in American prisons boys.... this thread is failing at sociology wholesale.

It's a completely different thing certainly, and happens under a completely different context. That's kind of my point. I'm not sure how you could possibly extrapolate a "blueprint" for how society is built from the insulated, isolated, sexually segregated and regimented culture created by incarceration.

Sounds like all prisoners should be issued PS4s as a rape deterrent measure
