| If Your BF Joked To You About Raping A Woman, What Would You Do? Posted: 12/16/2008 11:50:47 AM | Yes, Best
Now these NEW slangs are being used by our younger generation (heaven help us)...words like "stalker" or "gay" and of course what was posted here...are common misnomers, I find this very dangerous.
I hear young women referring to a young man that has a simple crush on them as a 'stalker'.
In context, theysay it like this, "Yeah..there's this guy, I think he has a thing for me, I think he's my new stalker, tee hee"
Well, it's NO laughing matter hon...it's not funny. | |

| If Your BF Joked To You About Raping A Woman, What Would You Do? Posted: 12/16/2008 12:02:33 PM | | I would be horrified........completely. I would have set my fork down and walked out................hoping he would follow me to ask what was wrong and then I would tell him exactly how disrespectful that was to the other girl and to myself and that there would never be a time when that kind of things would be talked about again at least not with me as we would be finished and suggest he go apologize to the young lady that he totally violated with his thoughts and words. | |

I would have been so embarrassed and humiliated by the comment that I would not know how to immediately respond.
I would just need a chance to get out of the situation and have some time for it to sink in...then I'd be very angry. | |

Posted: 12/16/2008 12:26:10 PM | Dear OP - No matter who you are you are going to look at either a pretty woman or a good looking guy that is only natural. However, to make a comment like that is just downright crude, rude, whatever else you want to call it. I'd have excused myself with friend and left - but that's me - don't tolerate out and out B.S. | |

I got a chance to talk to her. I asked her what the Hell was with her BF. I thought being 23 would have brought some type of Maturity to him, but I was wrong. She's 22 and in "love" or something. I told her that I think the guy is a loser and she should just cut her loses.
I also asked her does he always joke about raping women and she answered yes. She told me that he once showed his "fantasy" rape list to her. He told her a line about she all "Men" having one. But they usually don't write it down or share it with their GF's. The sad thing about it that she bought it.
She said that he love to fantasy about raping women and since he's her BF, she as a woman should do what it takes to make her man happy. I told her to wake up. The guy is a loser and perhaps more. But there's diffently something wrong with him that's for sure. | |

OP, while I agree that it is surprising that she didn't say anything I'm wondering why you, a 26 yr old man, didn't say anything either. She may have felt intimidated speaking up in front of two men. I would hope I had the courage to state then and there that the comment was both inappropriate and not in the least bit funny if I were in your friend's situation.
Well I was stunned as well. But I doubt she is intimidated by me. Since she's like my little sis. After the shock wore off, I did want give the guy a piece of my mind, but I know that she cares for him and when women are that way about a guy, the friend always takes the blame.  | |

in all reality she probably wouldn't have pissed on the best part of him if he was single how much alcohol did this idiot consume before he starts flying off at the mouth saying such asinine statements.
The scary thing is that he wasn't drunk. So I would hate to see what he says and does when he actually does start drinking. If he's like that sober, he must be one hell of a drunk. | |

She's in for it....control, violent thought or worse...rape is about that....not sex, She needs to be told straight up!
I will diffently tell her what I think tonight. I will also bring along my other sister (biological) and have her talk to her. They are close and she's a real fire brand. Sweet girl, but mean when she needs to. She even scares me and keeps me in line when I get too bad. LOL. | |

DanaDaze .. as usual, you have the words:
Would he be a rapist, probably not, in fact most likely not, but his condescending attitude about women would make me barf and remove him from my life. I'm not that needy to have a man that I would accept such inappropriate remarks from one. And I'm pretty wicked in the sense of humor area, but that's not humor, that's creepy.

Perhaps the real issue is that this person would even associate sex with rape. Youner person or not how they might talk about rape as sex is a concern. Who would want to date this guy? | |

| If Your BF Joked To You About Raping A Woman, What Would You Do? Posted: 12/16/2008 7:28:40 PM | I've noticed comments from people pointing out that rape is usually about domination and cruelty rather than sex. Rape is not amusing under any circumstances.
I'd just like to comment that, if he'd made a comment about having sex with the other woman, that would have been inappropriate and unacceptable as well.
I have no problem with noticing and appreciating attractiveness wherever it's found: in men, women, pictures, etc. But there's should be a line drawn at being rude to the person who is attractive and the people you are with.

My sister and I went to talk to her about Her BF. Well I let my sister do all the talking. I sort of sat back and listened. Well they had started talking when he came back to the apt. He asked what was going on and I told him that my two sisters was just having some girl talk and me and him should just hang out until the finished. He agreed and the two girls went into the kitchen and continued talk.
So he and I went into the living room and sat down. It was weird sitting there and not talking for a min or so, but I finally asked him about what he said the other night. I said to him that I thought he sounded like an idiot for saying that he would rape a woman he found attractive. He told me he wanted to show me something he had made. He the went over to the dvd player and put in a homemade disc.
IT WAS A COLLECTION OF RAPE SCENES FROM MOVIES! He looked at my stunned face and said, "You Never Got Off On Seeing Jodie Foster Getting Raped On That Pinball Machine? That Was One Of The Best Rape Scenes In Movie History." I told him "NO, I Don't Like Watching A Woman Getting Raped!" He then replied that I don't know what I'm missing and that all women have had the desire to be raped. It's just in their nature to be dominated.
He then went on to go to the next scene which was from some remake on desert mutants or someting. Showed sisters get raped and killed or something. I just couldn't look anymore.
I told the guy he had some sick ideas. That's when he said that I've been brainwashed like a lot men have by the women's movement. He said something about rape has been used by women to put men under their control and that a lot of "innocent" men have gone to prison on the lies of women. I was arguing with him some more above his views when my sis said that she was ready to leave.
He asked me as I was leaving with my sister, he said to me, "with a sister as good looking as her, have you not had the thought of how it would feel to just take her." I clinched my fist and was about to turn and deck him when My sister called my name. I knew she didn't want me to hit him. So I stopped.
He then had the nerve to say, "Damn Dude, You need to lighten up. It's just a word. You have let those women get to you. That's when he went into the bed room and my friend started to apologize for him. My sister called her an idiot for being with a guy like that. I told her I thought the same and that I care about her, but for the time being, I'm not going to come around her anymore. Not when he's with her. She started to tear up and that's when me and my sister left. | |

True evil does exist...this is how it is born....conscious disrespect for another, rationalizing evil acts...
This should cause much fear...
Perhaps he should be introduced to the reality of prison rape...and their fantasies. I guess he would no problem accommodating them, huh? Thought so. | |

There are just some things you never joke about. Raping someone is one of them.
Maybe to you. But my very dark sense of humor speaks otherwise.
That being said, OP, you're joke is terrible.
Offensive jokes are only offensive if they aren't very funny, IMO.
And if you don't think rape can be funny, look up George Carlin's little anecdate
"Rape can be funny." | |

| If Your BF Joked To You About Raping A Woman, What Would You Do? Posted: 12/17/2008 1:04:10 PM | What makes George Carlin so above humanity that if HE says it, it's acceptable????
Unreal!
Hey if it happened to your mother, sister, girlfriend of for that matter, a male friend you knew....would ya just tell them to shrug it off....it really was funny?!

Gangster kitten - OMG. Just OMG. Now we have moved from jokes about rape being funny, to an actual rape being funny. What a desensitised world we have become. You do realise that victims or rape are real people???? They are someone's mother, sister, grandmother, daughter etc. Just try for a moment to imagine someone you love has been raped. Then try not punching the next guy that cracks up laughing over the thought of raping the random stranger that walks past him. | |

"Rape can be funny."
No to a decent human being rape can never be funny. Neither can child molestation, genocide or murder ever be funny. To those with the blackest of souls then I guess anything can be funny as they don't see others as people with feelings who have any worth. | |
