    Well, again, being mean, whether it's a funny look or brazen bigotry, is part of the same culture, yes.

    It's a bigger jump than when we're talking about expressions of masculine sexuality, but the parallel still exists.

    That would make 'rape culture' the 'touching knee culture'. The whole point is that you name it after the biggest crime.

    Unless you are happy with referring to the holocaust as just another part of the 'being mean culture'....

    Fine, hate culture. Holocausts are fuelled by hate, so hate is the broader 'umbrella' crime.

    I can live with that. As below, this makes rape part of 'control culture'. Say that and you will be accused of trivialising rape, as though comparing it to touching a knee hasn't already done that.

    Sorry, it has to be holocaust culture or nothing. I dont make the rules....
