No, it doesn't go without saying and thank you for saying it because every single reply to me has been essentially dismissive. This is what a lot of women mean when they talk about rape culture. And I find it enormously frustrating that no one here seems to see why a woman would feel that a group of presumably all men responding in a consistently dismissive fashion would create a threatening atmosphere that has the potential to encourage bad behavior towards women of the sort described in the article.
