RAPE ISN'T FUNNY

I'm wearing out of fighting the battle against the trivialization of rape. I'm growing tired of telling people rape isn't funny and worse still rape joke aint either. I'm writing to tell you they need to stop. I was touched by my fellow feminist writer Andrea who called for a 24hour truce where women would just live freely without being raped..Every minute every second a woman is being raped somewhere in the world, a woman is being battered, im worn out its not funny.Have you realize.for every voice that speaks out against them, three other appear to tell them hah these feminist are just being over sensitive.

People who joke around with rape probably haven't been raped. they probably don't know anybody who has been raped. They don't understand rape because their only exposure to it is in a trivialized form used as nothing more than just a comic device for a cheap laugh. how do you educate somebody do unwilling to be educated? How do you break down their years of false experience and replace it with even the basest modicum of understanding? Rape is tactless and irresponsible. Rape jokes worse are a legitimization of rapists actions under the guise of societal acceptance and to a victim they are a reminder of an ordeal best forgotten.
In a society still leaning heavily on patriarchal imbalance , women are the main victims of rape. This is why there is such a vehement opposition from feminists and their groups. That doesnt make it purely a feminist issue though.Men get raped too and it might not be as common as women but it happens , this is the reason why people should understand it is not funny..You rob someone's dignity and person-hood so it should stop.
Rape is an issue for absolutely everyone regardless of gender and people need to understand this. But the point here is it is not funny and it has to stop.We are tired of having these conversations and arguments...why do we have to trivialize each other like that?LETS STOP.
