I think she was pointing out that it is more equivalent to having your penis split open with a hammer than saying 'no, oh go on then'.

"penis split open with a hammer"...? Huh?

As an aside, I always find groups called 'Women Against Rape' and (particularly) 'Men Against Rape' slightly weird. Surely the "Against" rather goes without saying? Unless they've been set-up in direct opposition to 'Women For Rape' and 'Men For Rape'. I'm not sure I'd want to be part of 'Men Against Rape', sounds almost sinister. Do they sit around in a room voting on an agreement not to go out and rape anyone this week?

*waits*

--- funny - if the person wielding the hammer is wearing a 'clown mask'... apparently.

I just didn't realise Timmy Mallet had become such a violent pervert.

(My only serious point is that I don't have any time for people who post knowingly self-righteous and pompous statements, which seek to demonise or shame others - of whom they know little or nothing about - in order to present themselves as superior. Possibly as a defence to having to explore their own inadequacies and prejudices.)

Well, 'Critique' gets more fun with every visit here! Byeeeeeee!!!!!!! Wave

Ah yes - and bearing the below in mind...

I was Roodeye of course.

Therefore; Roodeye + WRITEFORESKIN = Timmy Mallet (in a clowns mask, of course).

I think we should be told!

Apologies, I may have been a little angry and overly descriptive towards the end of my post, but at least Roodeye is able to see at a glance the reaction this material might ellicit.
It was actually supposed to be an anatomical equivalent rather than a random violent outburst but I am fairly hyped up on lemsip so it may have come across as a knowingly self-righteous or pompous statement seeking to shame or demonise others, that was not my intention.
I can't find the right emoticon for no hard feelings I'm too tired and fluey to fight let's agree to differ no offence intended.

Don't be silly, it wasn't you I was talking about anyway. ;)

And I wasn't criticising your comments, just was curious about the turn of phrase, that's all. Sorry if I came across as glib or accusational.

Sorry you feel unwell. :( Rest well and hope you feel better soon. Wave

Cheers Tim, on re-reading it is a particularly unusual turn of phrase, I blame the lemsip haze. I'm off to bed now.

Night night. :D

Various people have made interesting and valuable points and it might be worth reminding others who may be skim-reading this thread that I have already acknowledged the respect I have for the view that the above 'rape jokes' (and indeed all rape jokes) should be excluded from public performance. I don't share that view, but it's certainly a view a rational person might hold.

Indeed, the very expression 'rape joke' might be seen as suggesting that rape is somehow funny. Clearly, though, it's just a concise way of referring to the concept we're discussing.

Opinions aside, I believe Keewik's posting contains a factual inaccuracy in that, to the very best of my knowledge and belief, nobody 'from the Internet' has ever seen me. Not that it matters particularly, I'm just trying to prevent hearsay and rumour going onto the record as fact.

If anyone from the net claims to have seen me, I'd love to know when and where - and, more importantly, how they knew it was me.

Having said that, this thread is progressing very well and some extremely useful and thought-provoking points are being made. It would be a pity to let personal animosity enter the proceedings so perhaps remaining on topic would be no bad thing.
