This IS rape culture. The idea that the women should put up with degrading behavior so as not to lose social status? Those in the position of power on stage taking advantage of that position? Dissenters afraid to speak out because they may be brushed off as too uptight or PC?
I'm not saying that the fault lies entirely with SAE or the men involved, as these are messages internalized over very long periods of time by growing up in/with various patriarchal institutions, but I don't see how you can look at this and not see a connection to the power dynamics and objectification that leads to rape.
