Hur bestämmer man vilka minoritetsbeteenden eller attityder som ändå är betecknande för hela samhällets kultur?
Jag hittade detta i kommentarerna på en blogg om forskning om sexuellt utnyttjande:
"Thomas,
“That that goes on and is not the major story in the news regularly; doesn’t have public campaigns the size of the pink ribbon campaign, that — that _is_ a rape culture.”
No, I’d say it’s resignation given that there really isn’t much that you can do about the numbers – as this research demonstrates. Are we a theft culture because there is a basic acceptance that theft will occur? Are we a murder culture because murder will occur? Do you think that rape is less acknowledged as a social problem than murder or theft? There’s usually an evidence problem in rape cases, but that doesn’t mean rape is in any way culturally condoned. I just don’t see where you get that. And again, if rape were socially incentivized, why do only about 10% of all men become rapists, using your numbers? If, as you mention by quoting Galbraith, incentives work, and there were incentives encouraging rape, wouldn’t one expect a much higher number? So, assuming that incentives actually work, and assuming only social variables at work, the disincentives to rape do apparently outweigh the incentives 9 to 1, c.p.. Why would you call *that* a rape culture?

As long as I have the power of the banhammer here, this blog will never be a place where men can make the argument that a culture where one in ten men rapes women is not a rape culture.
Banned. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out."

Betyder 10 procent asexuella att vi lever i en asexuell kultur? Betyder 10 procent muslimer att vi lever i en muslimsk kultur? Betyder 10 procent feminister att vi lever i en feministisk kultur?
