Reply #33: dismissing the idea of violent rape [View All]

via humour.

It is dismissive of the crime of rape. Turning the violence into a 'funny moment'. That is dismissive. If it were not still such a prevalent crime of young women in this country than perhaps it wouldn't be so outrageous. But given that this is a very serious and pandemic problem in our society - treating it as a point of humour - esp when graphicness is part of what makes the joke... then it help explains why norms and attitudes are such that help explain why this is still such a prevalent crime against women.
