Ha Ha, rape jokes are almost as funny as the rape itself.

As a very recent victim of sexual assault this is what I have to say:

The “joke,” for those still wondering, is that rape is sex, and women like sex, particularly that which is had against their will. It has close ties to the “lay back and enjoy it” “joke.” The ape is marvelous because the woman enjoyed the rape oh-so-much, and she wants some more of that hot rape action. *pukes*

For the record, I have no issue with survivors making jokes as a coping mechanism in an environment where the person/people present understand the circumstances and are very unlikely to be triggered themselves. I’d be lying if I said that I’ve never made a bitter offhand joke about my abusive rapist ex. Bitter humor in controlled circumstances is how I cope with many things. McCain doesn’t fit that bill — and I don’t think that jokes about how wonderful rape is are ever acceptable.

What the fuck!? HUH?! WAIT!? IS THAT A JOKE?! WHERE’S THE FUCKING PUNCHLINE!? It’s like saying:

“A Jew was picked up by the Nazis, tortured, and had his family burned in a bunch of ovens. When asked what he thought he said, ‘Where’s that marvelous Hitler?’”

I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW THIS COULD BE EVEN CLASSIFIED AS A JOKE! GOD DAMN! To me, the only thing this is saying is that women enjoy being raped and killed…No…wait…Is that the punchline??????
