Comment: I didn't say there were situations and places where sexual harassment and sexual assault occur.  I said "where they were tolerated."  That's a much wider reach.

I doubt the writer believes that "rape culture" is everywhere in society, but she should certainly be more careful with her words.  Even you have added a tiny word that makes a great deal of difference - "a rape culture."  Not everywhere.  And on that, she is correct.

Donald Trump's infamous 'grab her by the p***y' comment - and the significant number of people who thought it was crude but not really all that bad - is just one of the better known examples of it.
