You didn't even touch on the fact that her own argument disproves the existence of a rape culture here. Women can and very often do say no to male advances, and they do so with out any repercussions at all. This goes to her definition of rape culture itself. As such, it's clear that so-called "rape culture" doesn't even exist in the West, nor in much of the East.

At the least we can demonstrate that her version of rape culture does not exist (in the West, anyhow), which is the point as we're dealing with her arguments and not the topic more generally.
Further on, feminists frequently do not use your definition, and consider virtually all sexual relations involving men and women to implicitly be rape because they believe women can't genuinely give consent for the reason this person outlines.
That feels a bit like a no-true Scotsman argument because feminists number as the most significant individuals to argue for rape culture at all. And this (or something very similar) is the definition they tend to utilize. Surely many of them would find your definition to be "wrong" instead.
