This article is focused on Australian society - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/16/consent-laid-bare-chanel-contos-interview - but I was struck by the wider resonance of insights like this:

"“We need to ‘other’ rapists, because it is too confronting to accept that our society doesn’t just allow them to exist but to thrive,” she says. “The traits that the entitled opportunist harbours are the very neoliberal traits that are celebrated in men and lead them into positions of success.” She pauses. “There are no consequences.”

"These dynamics, she says, were magnified in the milieu of elite Sydney private schools in which she grew up, a world of parties and luxury holidays and rugby games at the intersection of wealth and whiteness and class. This world shapes the country’s corridors of power – from the law and politics to the media.

"The entitled opportunist, Contos writes, is “unlikely to reoffend if they are held accountable for their actions or taught explicitly what consent is”.

"Contos wrote her dissertation on the colonial aspects of Sydney’s private boys schools, which were imported from England, and the ways in which we talk about how in Australia rape culture is shaped by the settler-colonial state."
