Rape jokes on the whole, are in questionable taste, they tend to be made by laddish and ambitious young comedians, I think, wanting to make a name for themselves. Most of them wouldn't dream of doing a racist joke for fear of ruining their career, so how is it okay to do rape jokes, I ask.

It is scary, I think rape is a scary subject because many males don't seem to get how bad a crime it is, the statistics for convictions are almost uniquely terrible, in law, and many everyday non legal folk don't know why this is. I am merely attempting to put some of the reasons why the figures are so poor. The human behaviour factor has a massive effect in rape cases, I believe.
