Rape goes both ways. Men and women can get raped.
Someone telling rape jokes can be disgusting and inappropriate, but it will stay as a joke.
Agree, a workplace is not a good place to tell these. In fact there might not be a good place for it.
Also, if we go further down the rabbit hole and say that rape jokes promote rape, then we can start saying that video games promote violence, etc...
My concern is to have someone getting fired or prosecuted for a joke. Getting his career broken because of a stupid joke.
You can feel disgusted or even violated, but with the counter actions you can do more damage to the other person compared to the one you received.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoIf you don't want to get fired for making a rape joke at work, there's a pretty easy solution to that. (Spoiler: it's "don't make a rape joke at work.")
- MrLeftHand 10y agoAh, now you ruined it for me. I was just in the middle of telling one to everyone.
