You can joke about anything, I don’t know why this concept is so hard to grasp nor do I understand the logic behind rape appearing to be the only thing that people cannot joke about nor do I understand why it’s viewed and seen as the worst possibly thing a human can endure.
What saddens me is that this attitude, along with the fact that women STILL are commonly seen as “Sluts” when they have sex a lot (Or at the very least is seen negatively upon for doing so), probably strengthens the impact that an actual rape has upon a female victim, because we keep regarding and teaching women that they are sacred, innocent beings whom must not be tainted and thus, more or less, make the act of someone forcing themselves upon you sexually the seemingly worst thing that can befall you because it “Shames” you as a woman.
I am not saying that trauma and depression is caused by this type of attitude and view as rape definitely is a traumatic experience in itself, but you’re not helping the victims by portraying rape the most horrendous experience a female can go trough, as if making it out as something you cannot possibly recover from. Honestly, I think that trying to strive for a world were both genders can fuck as much as they want as well as not limiting to what a person can or cannot be based on their gender, skin colour, religion, sexuality and so forth. At least I think it’s better than to paint victims as helpless, quivering things that are in need of our protection from the bad things in the world instead of actually trying to help them overcome their trauma and help them regain their smile.
It’s certainly better than raving about how terrible some things are, because honestly, it’s common knowledge that rape as well as murder, stealing and so forth is bad. Rape for example was a crime that had a death sentence back in the day (Pre 1900 mind you), though it doesn’t surprise me that no one ever mentions that. I do however know that there are indeed women in other parts of the world that has to live trough a terrible existence in a society that regards them as lesser beings, and that is something we should fight against.
Anyway, one last note about the whole rape thing, what irks me about it is also that the reason that it’s considered so terrible is partly because it’s a crime that is generally associated with women. Mind you, it’s not the association with women that irks me but rather the fact that women, as I said before, is regarded as sacred, innocent beings, objects even in need of protection and thus crimes associated with these sacred “Objects” are seen with much harsher eyes, not because of the crime itself but rather because of the gender of the victim.
And this is bullshit, because it just further strengthens the stereotype of women as a whole are weak, frail beings in need of our protection, something which I personally think we should fight. It’s always great to want to help and protect people, but it’s not something that should be based on gender to begin with.
Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions and none of this mustn’t and shouldn’t be taken as fact and I hope you understand this because 99% of the time in all debates and discussions on the internet, it’s all about personal opinions rather than facts.
TL;DR: Shit be wack, yo and y’all should be letting woman fuck as much as men and jokes can be about anything ‘cause it’s coo’ and can help people with serious issues YO!
