The only problem is that you’re talking about cases of prolonged sexual abuse/molestation, which is mostly adults abusing children. That’s true – its a cycle. But cases of rape/sexual assault between adults is a different kind of beast, and its not a cycle in this case. If we look at studies examining male rapists of women, they found that these people share a number of traits in common: lack of empathy, lack of respect towards women, beliefs in traditional gender roles, etc. Rape culture is not just one thing.
