“Rape humor is designed to remind women that they are still not quite equal. Just as their bodies and reproductive freedom are open to legislation and public discourse, so are their other issues. When women respond negatively to misogynistic or rape humor they are “sensitive” and branded as feminist a word which has, as of late, become a catch all term for, “woman who does not tolerate bullshit.”

Roxane Gay, “Daniel Tosh and rape jokes: still not funny”

(via salon)

Maybe one of the reasons that rape is super common and almost never gets reported is because people trivialize it and make out like it’s not a real issue by MAKING JOKES ABOUT IT. Rape is real. Rape is awful. Stop laughing about it.
