Rape culture is an extra tax on women that makes it harder for them to avail themselves of opportunities. We have to pay extra to keep ourselves safe, such as by paying for separate hotel rooms instead of couch surfing, having to go home earlier/not go at all because there's no safe transport methods otherwise, we have to judge each and every encounter and new contact to judge whether he is safe as well as whether he will be "good for our careers." It's just an extra tax we have to pay.
