Piles and piles of government studies show that the only true rape culture is that which minimizes the issue of female rapists.
Perhaps even more troubling than misperceptions concerning female
perpetration among the general population are misperceptions
held by professionals responsible for addressing the problem. Female
perpetration is downplayed by those in fields such as mental health, social
work, public health, and law, as a range of scholars have demonstrated
(Denov, 2001; Saradjian, 1996; Mendel, 1995). Stereotypical
understandings of women as sexually harmless can allow professionals
to create a “culture of denial” that fails to recognize the seriousness of
the abuse (Hetherton, 1999).
Some feminist organizations have asserted that attention to female
perpetration risks derailing the hard-fought battle to assert that sexual
victimization is about the exercise of male power (Hetherton, 1999).
Others favorably note that professional responses, in particular law enforcement sanctions that “go easy” on female perpetrators appropriately
advantage troubled women. In contrast, some argue that this
advantage comes at a price (Denov, 2003b), and it's a price that all
women and men pay, in the form of reinforcing regressive stereotypes
about sex and gender.
