Rather than viewing the culture of rape as a problem to change, people in a rape culture think about the persistence of rape as “just the way things are.”
That sounds like the definitions of hazing that are stretchier than Grandma's underwear.

EXACTLY my point. You shouldn't have to feel that way. Many of the kind of feminists that I don't like go on and on about smash the patriarchy, but are so sheltered from the real world that they would run screaming the other way if they actually had to talk to (OMG) a person of color.
