Hypothetical Dystopia

When I hear a rape joke, what I hear is, “I don’t care about women.” I hear, “I want to laugh at women’s concerns, and I want you to laugh with me.” Rape jokes reinforce the idea that male identity is neutral and normal, and female identity is marginal and laughable. Terrorizing and marginalizing women is hilarious, and you just can’t take a joke.

YES. Except that rape can also be a men’s issue. The rest, however, is flawless.

^^ Yes, rape jokes do not only trivialize rape for women, but also trivializes rape for men as well.
