Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs

I'd say the problem isn't that rape jokes are bad, just that only rape jokes about men are acceptable. In my opinion, rape jokes are just that: jokes. The punchline isn't that rape is funny, the punchline is that rape is bad. Feminists need to learn that sometimes dark humor about women is okay too.

I've always had an issue with this. The fact that people in jail/prison (some of whom are later acquitted, so they most likely weren't guilty) are being sexually assaulted while in the custody of the state.... and this is somehow funny? To the fact that its been normalized to include in children films.

It also plays into the fact that its not "manly" to be taken advantage of by a man or especially by a woman.

That's just every example of male-on-male rape being used as comedy. It goes a lot further than that if you start taking into consideration every form of trivialized male genital/sexual assault(i.e. women kicking men in the balls, or some other type of physical harm being caused to men's sexual organs that people react to with laughter), and it goes even further than that if you were to take into consideration ALL forms of violence directed towards men(I challenge you to find even 5 movies that don't feature some form of violence against a male character).

And these jokes aren't just designed to ridicule and emasculate men, on the receiving end, but also demonize and vilify male sexuality, by basically trying to frame all men, in prison or otherwise, as capable rapists.

Not my video, I just thought the discussion on it was interesting.
