Yes the UK is a rape culture. 85,000+ women are raped every year and a very tiny fraction of the perpetrators are prosecutes and an even smaller fraction are convicted.



Out of 1000 perpetrators of rape, about 994 will go free and rapists are far less likely to go to prison than any other criminal.



Following the Ched Evans trial, 40 labour MPs asked the Attorney General for a change in the law on the basis that women were less likely to report rape because of the fact that a victim's sexual history could be used to acquit her rapist. The legal system actually believes that if a woman behaves in one way in one situation, she must be assumed to have behaved that way in a similar situation and on that basis her rapist (who admits to what he did) should be let off. It doesn't matter if his behaviour is abhorrent or criminal - the woman's past actions excuse him.



If you don't believe there is a rape culture I'm very happy for you. Carry on living in your happy little bubble.
