Okay, so I get that she is making a distinction between being a rapist and supporting a culture in which rape is commonplace. She is not saying if you do X you raped someone. She is saying if you X you are participating in cultural practices which contribute to a cultural mindset that makes rape more common than it would be otherwise.
I think the author under estimates the role male coercion in the initiation of sex may be wired into us as a species. Perhaps she thinks we are blank slates minus the influence of culture. If so that would be naive. Culture explains an enormous amount of our behavior but that culture is not completely random; it had to fit the way we are wired as a species.
