National survey evidence finds that nearly one-fifth of U.S. women will experience a rape or attempted rape during their lifetime and that about one-third will experience a rape or sexual assault, including attempts, during their lifetime. These three cultural beliefs—that women enjoy being forced to have sex, that they ask or deserve to be raped, and that men should be sexually assertive or even aggressive—combine to produce a cultural recipe for rape. Although most men do not rape, the cultural beliefs and myths just described help account for the rapes that do occur. Up to one-third of U.S. women experience rape or sexual assault, including attempts, in their lifetime. Rape and sexual assault result from a combination of structural and cultural factors. In states and nations where women are more unequal, rape rates tend to be higher.

You are to write a 350-word to critically evaluate the cultural beliefs contributing to rape and sexual assault.
