Major TW for rape, rape culture‘You’re a piece of s*** and I hope you die’: Comedian’s very unfunny reaction when an audience member stages a SILENT protest at his joke about rapeRather than cover the story about piece of shit “sad excuse for a human being” Ray Badran (you can click the headline above for more info), let’s talk about rape jokes and why anyone who makes them deserves nothing but contempt and opposition. SAVE THIS POST FOR THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO EXPLAIN “WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL WITH RAPE JOKES?”“Rape jokes are not jokes. Woman-hating jokes are not jokes. These guys are telling you what they think. When you laugh along to get their approval, you give them yours.”~ Thomas Millar, Meet the PredatorsWhy Rape Jokes Are Never Funny“Rape jokes are not innocuous. They perpetuate rape culture and promote rape myths which consequently invalidate the experiences of survivors and justify the actions of perpetrators of sexual violence.According to Force: Upsetting Rape Culture, rape culture (or rather, our culture) is a culture in which we are “surrounded with images, language, laws, and other everyday phenomena that validate and perpetuate rape. Rape culture includes jokes, TV, music, advertising, legal jargon, laws, words and imagery, that make violence against women and sexual coercion seem so normal that people believe that rape is inevitable. Rather than viewing the culture of rape as a problem to change, people in a rape culture think about the persistence of rape as ‘just the way things are.’”Memes or jokes glorifying sexual violence desensitize us, and significantly impact survivors and perpetrators of sexual violence.”RAPE JOKES ARE THE DEPRAVED LOW OF PATRIARCHAL CULTURE, WHERE ENTIRE AUDIENCES OF PEOPLE CAN LAUGH AT REAL WORLD GENDER VIOLENCE THAT IS EPIDEMIC IN IMPACT AND CAUSES HIGHER PTSD RATES THAN F*CKING COMBAT. WHILE VICTIMS OF THAT VERY CRIME SIT IN THE ROOM AND SUFFER. -- source link
