Cultural Appropriation

When a person takes something with cultural significance from another culture for their own, but doesn't respect or understand the cultural significance the something has. Instead they only claim to 'like' the culture because of what they can gain from it.
Eg:
White kid 1: Ugh, Indians have such stupid customs and shit.
White kid 2: Yeah OMG!

Later
White kid 1: OMG Bindis are so cool! I love Indians! I'm all for Hindu or whateverr
Indian kid: wtf cultural appropriation much.

Rape Culture

Setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality.
Rape culture is prominent in all aspects and forms of society today and is a major social issue.
the reason being is, If rape culture is allowed to continue then men and women will view rape as socially acceptable.
Obviously Rape is socially unacceptable, and for those who don't think it's a problem how would ya'll neckbeards feel if some randomass dude walked up to you on the street and started beating the shit out of all the while saying "I bet you like that".

Rape is physical abuse.
