Yes, that's quite a list. Though I don't doubt if we could do one for greed, the list would be just as long. The vampire squids aren't particular.

Is demonstrated in the Al Franken video I posted above. Vampire squids can find any stick to beat money out of a dog.

but i would nuance the following a tad:

Rape culture is treating straight sexuality as the norm.

yes...and, no. Het normalization is of course key to Rape Culture, but there is an oft-ignored space within it for violent, closet case rape which enables and reinforces the values and tenets of the Closet. (i know she does discuss men being raped later in the list as well as rape within the gay community)

what i'm saying is that the construction of "straight sexuality" within a Rape Culture is quite different than what str8 sexuality means to healthy, normal people. in Rape Culture, a closeted gay male may rape a female, and later employs that act of violence as proof that he is Not Gaii. i actually know someone who has done this; he uses the (unsuccessfully prosecuted) charge of his raping of a woman and brags about it, when he's trying to pretend that he's not in fact gay.

I've been dreading reading it because I know it's true. I just feel so hopeless, at times. You're battling against the violent radicalization of an entire gender!

What's been bothering me most lately is how even young women are supporting rape culture, even blatantly. I mean, if young women are pushing rape, a crime I always considered the worst fear of a woman or girl, then what chance do you have?

Just the other day I was reading a LJ community (football), one in which it seems mostly girls and young women post, and they were making rape "jokes" (e.g. "surprise sex") and I'm thinking, "They're making light of a damn hate crime and they think violation is consent." I don't know what part stuns me more: that they think misogynistic violence* is fun or that Orwellian language (e.g., rape is sex**) has entrenched so deeply that it's like hearing, "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength." I feel we've fallen off a cliff with kids just five years younger than me (I'm 28).

You have to struggle to get people to even call rape "rape," but then you have to face the cultural wall that has always blurred that word into meaningless and equating it with trivial fun.

*Rapists almost exclusively choose victims on the basis of gender. According to RAINN, 9/10 victims are women and girls.
**Why rape should never be called any kind of "sex," even "sex crime." "Sex" is automatically equated with consent, erotic desire, and human nature (i.e. it's considered really, really good). We treat rape differently from just about any other crime in that we're almost desperate to associate it with consent--in some way. For ex., we say "a woman was forced (passive voice) to perform oral sex" instead of saying a man "orally raped a woman."
