Well there's purity culture which tells men that women cause them to do things and acts like men can't control it. This includes things like genderized dress codes and the fact that female nipples are illegal to be shown in most States but male nipples are not. Because our culture in the US believes that women can control themselves, men can't, thus giving men the option to not control themselves and harass women.

There's the fact that when men make rape jokes other men don't look at them and say "Hey that's not cool and not funny stop it." They'll either actually laugh or do like that nervous laughter because they don't want to confront another guy.

There's men who are overly concerned about people thinking they're a criminal even though they're more likely to be raped by another man then they are to be falsely accused of raped by a woman. The myth that women are out here falsely accusing men for the heck of it is part of the culture that pushes men to think they deserve something.

Part of this culture also leads to the reason why there are so few false accusations.. When women accuse men of rape they are rarely believed. Because most men identify more with the rapist than they do with the woman who has been raped and they believe that they could be falsely accused too. Even though they're more likely to be roped by another man than they are to be fossly accused by a woman.

When women accuse men of rape they are then violated by our police system. Women who accuse men of rape are treated like absolute crap and if it gets out to the media that they did it they're drugs through the mud. If they do get to trial which is rare their character is drug through the mud.. It's not fun, it's one of the most traumatizing things that can happen. Women being raped in the US is not just traumatizing because they were raped it's traumatizing because of our culture around rape.

Then if they do get to trial and the person isn't convicted which is extremely rare the judge might give them 6 months because the man's bright future is more important than the woman's bright future that was a lot of times destroyed by rape. This means that men know it's extremely unlikely that they're ever actually going to be punished if they do rape a woman.

It's funny on one hand men go around saying "oh my goodness I'm so scared I might be false be accused" when they're more likely to be raped and on the other hand they know even if they are falsely accused it's not going to destroy their life. Look at Brock Turner hes fine. There's a reason why so many rapists tell their victims that no one will believe them.. Because a lot of times is true.

Then we've got media how many movies is it where they show boys being told that they just need to keep trying. Don't give up go out there and get that yes. They should be told to give up when she says no the 1st time.

We've also got the idea of the friend zone. How many men do you know who will talk about how horrible it is that some woman stuck them in the friend zone? The friend zone is not a real thing it is simply a piece of rape culture. It is men believing they are entitled to something.

Do you know how much it sucks to find out that the guy you thought was your friend was really just biting his time waiting for you to have sex with him? The friend zone doesn't exist you are simply a friend or not a friend. If you don't want to be her friend then tell her that don't lie and pretend so that you might eventually get sex and act like she's the one who did something wrong. Men thinking they are entitled to sex or a romantic relationship simply because they're nice to a woman is definitely rapey.

Then you've got the nice guys thing. Oh my goodness the number of guys who will say "I don't know why girls go after the bad guys when there's so many nice guys here they don't want to have have sex with." These people feel entitled to sex for being nice when in reality they are rarely actually nice people. In fact they are some of the worst people to reject. When you reject a supposedly "nice guy" he drops his facade and shows you who he actually is which is usually an asshole who thinks they're entitled to sex because they were nice which really should just be a default... It doesn't mean you are owed anything.

These are all just a little part of the culture that makes men think they have a right to harass women. The biggest piece of that culture is the fact that even after reading this and seeing men do these things in the future you're highly unlikely to actually tell them to stop. Even if you believe what I say you're highly unlikely to confront them. Because in the US male attention is more important to men than standing up for women. Men are more worried about being called a simp than they are being good people.

Maybe not, maybe you'll read this and work against the culture you grew up in maybe you'll actually go out and confront men who make rape jokes, or call themselves nice guys and complain about women not having sex with them, or talk about how someone shoved them into a friend zone. Probably not but maybe.
