rape culture
Meanings (ES + gloss)
cultura de la violación
A culture, environment or society where rape or other forms of sexual assault are common, and in which social attitudes or practices work to trivialize sexual violence, make rape seem normal, or shift responsibility from rapists to rape victims.

In a rape culture both men and women assume that sexual violence is a fact of life, inevitable as death or taxes.
