    So if something is part of a culture it becomes valid automatically? What if there’s a tribe in some village somewhere in the world that enforces arranged marriage between the oldest man in the village and the youngest girl in the village every time there is a blue moon. Or some other such example.

    Does that change anything? When does culture become insufficient? Or culture is definitely the rule?

      Not really. We’re just in a cultural turning point where we realize how bad rape is alongside with our definition of rape moving away from “horny pervert in ski mask found in easy to avoid dark alleys”, and even “drunken sex” is being shunned; but not everyone have moved on from it, especially in cases like this (at least prison rape of pedophiles are getting surpassed by shivs).
