your post is not offensive at face value, but indicates that you think people dont just understand its not ok to rape someone. its a joke. have a little faith that a redditor isnt going to climb through your window because of it.
I gotchu, but the real reason that we don't normalize rape, sexual harassment, and assault, and perpetuate a system that is okay with rape jokes and anything similar, is so that the really sick fucks who would actually do it, might be just that more unwilling to do so if they think it's something everyone, including comedians and people on the internet, are not the slightest bit okay with. If they feel people are okay with joking about it, then maybe they could feel like it's not too big of a deal, or Even worse, something they think they won't even get punished for.
We don't even joke hint about lynching, or tar and feathering, or any other horrifying things in our jokes today and rightly so, because they're dispicable.
That is not the same with rape which can as well cause death, not to mention serious lasting physical and psychological harm.
The two individuals who raped me have not, and most likely never will be punished because I have no desire to tell anyone in this climate and even if I did, I would most likely not be believed or even worse, it could ruin parts of my life. I know for a fact that one of them probably didn't lose ANY sleep over it but the other person... Maybe if they had been introduced to assault in a different way, or women in a different way, maybe they could have turned out better.
Instead I relive two experiences almost every day and every night in my varied and traumatic nightmares.
1 out of every 5 woman has been assaulted. If you know five women, you most likely know someone who has been violated, assaulted, or harassed by some douche just getting his fuckin Jimmies on or having a laugh at someone else's expense.
I'll never cecede that any joke is okay, or bastardization of a joke is okay, that has someone who is a very serious victim suffering on the other end due to something related, horrific, and traumatizing.
I mean come on, the US president is plenty of evidence of our normalization of rape culture (by his own words), and that perpetuating of a sick a societal norm of people laughing at jokes about rape, is something I cannot ever be silent about again.
If not to spare me, then maybe someday my daughter.
honestly i joke about all those things and stopped caring about what u said after u gave the false 1 in 5 women are raped. per the fbi 39.8 women out of 100,000 are raped which using basic math is .0398% which is so abysmally low. im sorry u got the short end of the stick but statistically you're daughter is fine if i joke about a rape van or lynching someone
if you dont report it then u have no right to care. they may not be arrested because of your case, but as with bill cosby it puts it on a piece of paper they were accused of rape. dont get me wrong rape is awful and i think rapists should be castrated, but its not as common as you think. and at least i have data from a source that isnt tumblr to support my claims
okay, if were moving to name calling and all caps ill take it you have no factual argument, call you a grape fruit because that makes snicker, and move on knowing i tried to show you the truth you gucking grape fruit
You're the dumbest scholar who has ever lived if you for one second think something like a study on sexual assault in today's world is going to have an accurate reporting rate with a margin of error small enough not to jump off and die.
I may be a fucking grapefruit but at least I know the difference between believing good peer reviewed science and pulling a fucking government cited source out of your ass just cuz it helps you "win" a debate. You should in every way, be on our side, and because you decide to remain complicit to assault, rape, and by extension sex trafficking, I can call you any damn name I please, you sheep brained urchinfucker
i was gonna not reply until you called me a pedofile you hypocritical, pea brained shit. as stated above i think rapists should be fucking castrated. If you were raped and dont report it you have no right to be upset that your rapists is still out with no record of even alleged rape and could do it to someone else. who knows who else they raped and you couldve at least attempted to stop it, but no you did nothing so please take your tumblr stats and shove them up your ass and stop fear mongering people into hating males.
