I don't think anybody is saying: "accept that there is a rape culture and all the accompanying beliefs." There are societal norms in place that permit rape and make it easier for sexual assault to occur. I think you accept that basic premise. From there, all that is required is reflection. ie If that is true, what are the possible ramifications for victims living within that cultural situation.
No, I don’t think that society permits or condones rape. Or makes it easier to be raped, other than possibly current attitudes towards casual sex is perhaps aiding it.
