Do Mistletoes promote Rape Culture?
Quote:
The tradition dictated that a man was allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss.
So a man should be able to kiss any woman standing underneath a mistletoe.
Does it promote rape culture?

It's harmless fun. You can easily pass up if you're uncomfortable.

It's just humour amongst decent people. If you have rapist tendencies then obviously you would use mistletoe to be forceful.

You can reject that kiss if you want to but if the guy gets insolent then that's something going on.
Also, I don't think a kiss falls in the category of rape.

Yes. And the fact that a woman is threatened for ha life if she neglects a kiss, truly a degrading item for society.

Yes of course. That's why I don't trust religions.
