Similarly "rape culture" means attitudes and behavior that lead to men behaving badly generally, and sometimes raping, yes, but it is more than that. might "boorish men behaviour culture" been more broadly accurate? Maybe. But no one here coined the phrase. "Only God works from whole cloth, man must work with what came before."

Fuck 'em. I also don't like ending sentences with prepositions.
