Some jokes are only jokes because they are meant to offend.

You know what's hilarious? Blowing up dolphins with dynamite!!!!!

Now, before you start telling me that's not funny... consider that the only reason it was said was specifically for shock value.

Rape is a 'sacred' topic, therefore prime for offensive jokes.

That's just how it works.

I couldn't take her seriously after the intro. She disparages women then tells men to be sensitive to those making women feel bad.

Kindly go fuck yourself with a cactus.

This post in particular is addressed to men, not because women don’t rape and women don’t make/laugh at rape jokes and not because men can’t be raped, but because, by nature of the existing gender disparity, men are in a unique position to be taken seriously when they raise objections to casual language and humor regarding rape. Men are also in a unique position to prove to rapists that not all men rape or take rape lightly by being able to embody living proof of that fact.

These smug bastards can go suck a bag of dicks for all I care. And really, what is a rape joke and how often do you hear them in your day to day life? The only rape joke I'm aware of is the: "It's not rape if you yell 'surprise!'" one.

This is just another example of feminists blowing a relatively minor issue WAY out of proportion instead of working against real inequalities.

Yes they are.

That gave me a chuckle too.

Sometimes I wish we lived in the jungle so people this dumb would be taken care of by natural selection.

These people need to ask themselves, if we can't make fun of rape, what other topics can we outlaw parodying? There is no good joke that wouldn't be at SOMEONE'S expense. If someone gets offended by a rape joke, ask how they feel about racist ones.

TL, DR; If you make rape jokes, then because rapists think that all men are rapists then making jokes means you're encouraging them.

Next week - Why it's bad to like action movies (because you ultimately agree with violence), why chickens crossing the road are victims of a value judgement, and why computer games have to be banned for the sake of those that can't cope with them (etc.)

Horrible article using the same tired false statistics and canards.

Fuck this bitch.

Where is her article about women making fun of castrated men and praising the psychotic cunt(s) that conducted it? Where is her article about women making jokes about male circumcision and openly promoting it on basis of 'appearance'? Until those stop, I will continue to make my rape jokes, thank you very much.
