Does America have a rape culture?

[FinalEnigma]

I ended up in this discussion on facebook, and it got pretty absurd at times, and I was hoping to find a bit more rational of a discussion on the topic here.

So, here are my working definitions.

Rape: For the purpose of this debate, I am defining rape as
Any instance of a sexual act where there is a disparity in(the binary state of) consent. That is, when one of the involved individuals either explicitly or implicitly refuses or revokes consent (such as saying 'no', physically resisting, etc.), is incapable of giving informed consent, including both long term and short term states (such as being underage or mentally deficient, or being drunk beyond sensibility without a pre-existing agreement that sex in this state was consented to), or is not given the opportunity to consent (such as through the use of date-rape drugs).

Rape Culture: For the purpose of this debate, I am defining rape culture as a culture which meets one of the following conditions:
1)A culture in which the mainstream view is that rape is morally acceptable, that women who have been raped have provoked their attacker, that commission of rape should not be punished, or that rape is a natural and normal thing that men do.

2) A culture in which rape is routinely used as punishment, is a standard rite of passage, or is used as a means of control.


For debate:

does the United States of America have a rape culture?

Opinions of others without facts like a statistic is just stating their respective views about such a discussion.
