Yes! This, exactly. Sexual assault is far better understood in terms of persistent offenders existing than a cultural norm.https://twitter.com/CathyYoung63/status/919812576283955200 …
The exploitative institutions I was talking abt. Like with child abuse. Some institutions got away with that but as a culture we abhor it

Blaming an "institution" is hand-waving. They are made up of people like you and me. We might not have behaved differently ourselves.

"Institution" and "culture" are almost interchangeable so if we want to avoid the "blame a culture" trap, look to the individuals behaviour

No. The catholic church minimised & covered up child-sex abuse. Wider culture abhors it above everything.

Believe that if you wish. Not all the Catholic Church covered up abuse and significant segments of society do not abhor it above everything.
