<\/a>We all know rape isn\u2019t funny. Obviously, it\u2019s a very serious subject. Obviously. It can cause serious, irreversible permanent physical and psychological damage. So why would anyone think rape is funny?<\/p>\n Rape jokes, though–those are something completely different, right? Everybody knows they\u2019re just jokes. Nobody ever means anything by them, and it\u2019s only overly-sensitive people who would protest against something so harmless as a little joke. Am I right? I mean it can\u2019t hurt anyone, right? And male rape gets the brunt of the jokes because it\u2019s the funniest, right? Rape jokes are funny even though rape isn\u2019t… Right?<\/p>\n Wrong. Rape isn\u2019t funny, and that means rape jokes aren\u2019t funny. Call me sensitive if you wish, but It\u2019s. Not. Funny. Ever. And male rape–domestic violence and all–is even less funny because. for whatever pathetic reason, we have so many double standards that we as a society take it upon ourselves to strip the victim of an assault of his perception as masculine. Somehow, shaming victim-blaming has not set in when dealing with male victims.<\/p>\n
