    So if something is part of a culture it becomes valid automatically? What if there’s a tribe in some village somewhere in the world that enforces arranged marriage between the oldest man in the village and the youngest girl in the village every time there is a blue moon. Or some other such example.

    Does that change anything? When does culture become insufficient? Or culture is definitely the rule?

      Not really. We’re just in a cultural turning point where we realize how bad rape is alongside with our definition of rape moving away from “horny pervert in ski mask found in easy to avoid dark alleys”, and even “drunken sex” is being shunned; but not everyone have moved on from it, especially in cases like this (at least prison rape of pedophiles are getting surpassed by shivs).

        I gotcha, so your main goal here is just pointing out that cultures shift over time and we are in such a cultural shift at present and people should be cognizant of that fact. I definitely agree with that.

        Not sure why I get down voted for trying to ask enough questions to understand something, but such is my autism. Used to it by now. Thanks for the chat, sorry it took that long. Social paradigms are very complicated to me.
