Terms like "rape culture" get bandied about far too casually in the U.S., given that there are places where it's absolutely accuate. The BBC reports that in a new, confidential survey in South Africa, one FOURTH of men admit having raped women, half more than once and 73% starting when they were teenagers.
Gang rape was described as "a form of male bonding," though one in ten men said they had been raped themselves by other men.
This survey covered 1,738 men in both urban and rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces, and used an electronic device to keep the results anonymous.
