I think the biggest issue surrounding people not accepting rape culture, is that people think that rape culture means a society that approves and promotes rape, as opposed to a society wich has certain attitudes, beliefs, and values, all of which make rape more likely to happen. You CAN be against something but have attitudes that are counterproductive to your stance. (I mean just look at how religious conservatives hate premarital sex, but by refusing to educate youth about sex, they actually cause them to be more likely to have premarital sex at an earlier age.)
Also while it is certainly important to not characterize rape as a crime only men perform to only women, it is also disingenuous to act like there isn't a gendered dynamic to the whole situation. I believe I posted an article earlier which mentioned rape in the army. Most victims of rape were male, but it was noted that the population of the army was disproportionately male, and that each individual woman was still more likely to be raped than each individual man.
