epic4chan: a small note about rape

epic4chan:

Part of a message I got via my online contact form said this:

…As a rapist is normally a man who commits serial acts of violence towards women

No, not really. Wikipedia says:

Several studies argue that male-male prisoner rape, as well as female-female prisoner rape, might be the most…

I see why you might think feminists and other rape and sexual assault activists don’t additionally work to end assault and violence against men, but that’s actually not true. I actually wrote about this in an unrelated post here: http://golden-notebook.tumblr.com/post/17656897795/dear-ryking

In addition, while it’s your blog, as a rape victim myself it disappoints me to see you defending the rape jokes that you post. I recall you comparing them to jokes about murder - but the difference is that a murder victim isn’t around to be re-traumatized, again and again, by people making casual sport of what happened against them and their bodies. 

If you feel uncomfortable talking about the nuances of who gets raped, men and women alike, that’s fine. But can you please listen to the people who have contacted you saying that they don’t like the rape jokes? Is your ability to laugh for a few seconds with others who haven’t been affected more important than our feelings? “My right to make funnies about rape” - Is this the hill you want to die on defending? 

I was wondering if this was still going on since I unfollwed epic4chan. I’m glad to see he’s talking with people about this but I’m definitely with golden-notebook on this one.
