This woman has put it far more eloquently, and with more depth and authoritative information than I ever could have. Rape is a serious crime and one far more pervasive than many realize, and our words have far more power to harm than we’d like to think. Please think before you speak.

It’s a long read, but definitely worth it. Please do.

“Who said it’s okay to make some people feel rotten (by making rape jokes) but not to make others feel rotten (by calling out bullshit)? I’d say it’s pretty even as far as deals go, though if I had to pick whose feelings I’m more concerned about, I’d definitely be more likely to worry about those of a possible rape survivor than those of a guy who wants to make a tasteless joke”
