She's right. It's pretty much not funny.AnthonyVillalobos wrote:Those stats are rigged.
Three of the four most important women in my life have been raped. One was scarred so bad that she shook and cried the first time four or five times we held hands. We deal with the fallout of her rape at least weekly. The second was raped at twelve by her father and spent her junior high and high school years fucking married men for attention. The third was my mother. When she was fourteen, she and her sister were raped by a group of sailors. My grandfather pretty much wanted nothing to do with them after that.
Fratboy humor about rape is akin to redneck humor about homosexuals or Republican golf buddy humor about blacks. The shit is born our of ignorance and fear. The difference is that it's about a thousand times less funny.
I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that the "funny rape ha ha" bullshit is just "look how drunk I was" oneupsmanship and let it go. You might want to consider that at least a few of the posters on this forum might have been raped.
For the record, the fourth woman that is important to me, the one who hasn't been raped, is my seven year old daughter. You'll forgive me if I'm a bit sensitive about this subject.
I was just fucking around when I wrote that. I in no way was condoning rape or slapping high fives.
It makes me sick that some derranged men will even consider raping a woman or a man.
Although, I'm guilty of laughing at this when I first saw it:
