two questions.

1) can you all take a shot at defining rape culture? no google searches. just tell me what you think it means. and i won't interject until we've got a good sample.

2) the consent issue had to do with stopping halfway, which was what was happening. the video had not aired. she had the ability to stop. the activist was right; lauren was presenting an irrelevant comparison and didn't seem to understand the correct one.

this channel is run by a well known media personality from canada that is famous for his intellectual dishonesty (he's like a canadian glenn beck, but worse), and you can see his fingerprints in the editing: cutting people off before they respond, provoking violence and then blaming it on the provoked, the use of warped logic and false analogies, baseless accusations (and flat out lies), etc. what he loses in subtlety, he makes up for in bias. entirely predictable. there's no value in pointing out the obvious, as he knows he's full of shit and the audience is just circle-jerking.

i'm more interested in seeing what people think "rape culture" means. so, go for it..
