Stanford rapist Brock Turner: “I've been shattered by the party culture”

Basically your point is that it might not be the case that you almost certainly know a rapist, it might instead be the case that you either aren’t likely to know a rapist or that you are likely to know several, depending on how the population is distributed. Without any knowledge of how rapists are distributed in the population, what could you explain the important difference between the assumption of even distribution and the assumption of concentrated distribution? I mean other than the latter leaving people feeling shocked when someone they know is arrested?

True, and we have moved pretty far from my original point. The fact that we don’t know one way or the other shows that rapist status is not something people share with others, so it is not really appropriate to describe as a culture. Or at least not one that I have experienced, which is sort of what I said in my first post.

Not all the guys do this, it is true, and not all of them tolerate it. But most of them do, in fact, tolerate it.

Well, that hasn’t been my experience. I do try to be selective about who I hang out with, it is possible that I have been more successful in avoiding such people than I realized. It is possible that this makes me a bit sheltered.
