In reply to the discussion: 6'4" 250 lb. Man Rapes Three-year-old Daughter, Judge rules for HIS safety. No rape culture here! [View all]joeglow3
(6,228 posts)While that is a meaningful stat that should alarm anyone, I would still argue there are differences within that range. I read a news article about an infant that died from rectal damage after the mother prostituted her out. While I think date rape of a 16 year old is terrible, most would agree these two scenarios are pretty different issues that need to be addressed in completely different manners.
To argue that since some are naive in their views of a 16 year old being drunk and date raped, they are equally naive of a 2 year old being anally raped is dishonest, at best.
All that said, you mention someone who witnessed Sandusky's crime and didn't report it, why is it rape culture that contributed to it? There are PLENTY of crimes that people witness across the entire spectrum that people don't report. So much so that there are entire groups of scholars who study this reaction in people to try and understand why.
