because people don't know about it?
it's not like we didn't acknowledge it out of malice.

    Exactly comrade. It's not active malice, but the the lack of acknowledgement that constitute much of rape culture.

    It seems you didn't quite understand me. My bad, i should have formulated it in a better way. Let me reformulate it again:

    How can i acknowledge something i don't have any idea it exists?

    We weren't able to acknowledge Australia's rape culture, because we didn't know it was a Problem.

    You can't expect me to have acknowledged it previously, when this is the first time I've ever heard about it

    As I mentioned somewhere up the thread, I'm not talking about you personally. I'm talking about the lack of societal acknowledgement and awareness regarding the issue. When 63% of women working in the Australian parliament report being sexually harassed as I linked above, and there are years of newspaper articles from all over the world regarding it yet there's no societal awareness of the problem something has to change.

    I'm not talking about you personally of course. I'm sure that you are against rape culture that is prevalent in Australia, Japan, and much of the world over.
