The concept of rape culture has been firmly established in feminist discourse since the 1970s. This paper examines and challenges the arguments of rape culture deniers, with particular emphasis on one prominent UK representative, Luke Gittos, author of "Why rape culture is a dangerous myth: From Steubenville to Ched Evans" (2015). This article argues that Gittos’ case afrms rather than denies the toxicity and ubiquity of rape culture. (Author's abstract). Record #6118
