The question of whether something is "normal" has nothing to do with whether or not it is right. Slave owning was once normal. Explicitly discriminating against women in hiring and college admissions was once normal. Institutionalizing the physically disabled and excluding them from ordinary civil life was once normal. Involuntarily committing to mental hospitals people for having same-sex sex was once normal. Lining your water pipes with lead was once normal. Child labor was once normal. Locking employees into their workplaces was once normal. Eighty-hour workweeks – with no overtime and no breaks – was once normal.

Getting suckered into a discussion of whether male sexualized aggression is "normal" is to be distracted by an irrelevant derail. Rape is wrong whether it's 1% committing it or 100% committing it.
