A culture that casually promotes sexual assault and often involves victim blaming. It can take the form of men being treated as less masculine for being a survivor, a woman being told she's a whore and should have covered up in order to prevent rape, or prison rape not being treated as seriously as regular rape.
Jack: I was raped.
Joe: You can't have sex if you aren't erect, so obviously you wanted it.
Jack: That's a myth caused by rape culture.

Something that exists in the Islamic World and not in one of the most progressive secular countries on the planet. Yet somehow, the mythical "rape culture" here is the only one that feminists seem to pay attention to.
Anita: Oh my god, yesterday a man made eye contact with me on the train. We need to dismantle this rape culture!
Mark: Rape Culture? You mean like what they have in Saudi Arabia where you can literally get away with raping a woman because she was dressed provocatively (not wearing her hijab), an excuse that wouldn't fly here in an American court?
Anita: TRIGGERED

A term used when women want to claim that rape itself has been normalized in today's society, rape culture is just a way but not limited to woman who regret having sexual intercourse with a male and want to play victim cards like they're Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards!!!
Woman is all over man, man takes her home and they have sexual intercourse.
Woman - "you activated my trap card! Reveal face down trap card! "Rape Culture"!
Man is immediately banished to the shadow realm, or jail.

A culture which sexually views women as objects and trophies to be "won" by men. Rape culture encourages and justifies men trying to 'obtain' women through dubiously moral methods with little regard for the wishes and feelings of the women involved.
Note: Rape Culture can also target men and LGBTQ people.

Dude 1: She didn't really want sex, but after getting her drunk, she just lay there and took it!
Dude 2: Awesome! *High five buddy*
Girl 1: Eww, I knew she was a total slut. She should take better care of herself.
Person 3 : You guys are all promoting rape culture. You should think about how your actions affect other people.
