Parts of society definitely condones rape. "Boys will be boys!" is a common phrase heard by those on your side. The Catholic Church gladly turns a blind eye to child molestation. And it's not called out on it by the 'good christians'. The idea that 'attitudes toward casual sex is aiding rape' is in fact part of rape culture. It's this idea that women have no right to their own bodies, and that sex is a man's 'right'.
I don’t think that society does condone it. Hence why it is hidden and covered up from society. Also I wasn’t saying that women have no rights to their bodies, or that sex is a man’s right, or that boys will be boys. I don’t think when someone is raped anyone says. “Boys will be boys”. I think that casual sex aids in that it raises certain expectations, perhaps things are taken farther then they should, and then trying to stop it. It’s the attitudes towards sex, that increase rape and assault. When you are trying to walk a fine line, it will sometimes be crossed.
Also, I notice that you only focus on women here. Are you promoting a rape culture towards men?
