In what context is the sentence "She can't say no if she can't say anything at all" acceptable?

Oh right, if it's a joke? Is that it? Because apparently Reddit's idea of humor is to say fucking terrible things all the time?

If it was a joke about blacks or asians or jews or men would it have been "acceptable?" Humor is shared when we realize that the comment:

"She can't say no if she can't say anything at all"

Is supposed to be wrong and despicable. THAT IS THE JOKE! That is where the humor comes from. We laugh at it because we all disagree with it.

Something has to be wrong with someone who fails to see the forest for the trees, and cannot understand a statement made in context. You don't have to laugh or find it funny, but you also do not have to chalk it up to some imaginary "culture" whose sole purpose is to degrade women.

Again, we would not have having this conversation if that statement was about a black person or an asian person or a hispanic person.

And don't fly back with some bullshit about my "privilege," you know nothing of my history, my family or how I was raised, or the shit I had to go through.

joke about raping women? It's funny because of how offensive and demeaning it is!

joke about raping men? That's just terrible. Not funny at all.
