@Ginger Gal: But what if the purpose of the joke is to underscore that rape is a serious problem that is not taken seriously?

@beebee: I think it can be done but I think the man would have to be aware of and using the imbalance as a part of the joke . Unfortunately the majority of guys doing rape jokes are making fun of how women all secretly want to be raped or that it's totes not a big deal. These scenes/comics make me infinitely stabby.
@PeterAbe1ard: Absolutely and very well said!
Don't take away my feminist card but... yes.
@DonnaPirana: Addendum: especially when you are "wooo"ing things like Mathew Shepard's murder. It's icky.
@giddyant: Yeah, it seems like you could pretty easily abuse the insurance. What if you get remarried to each other? What if you legally divorce but stay in the same home?
I should not have read the wall on the rape apologists page. Someone actually says that we should go easy on these boys/men because they will get raped in prison. I mean, don't hold rapists accountable, then they might be raped!
Ugh, this clip makes my blood boil.
Yes, why on earth would this accomplished, ambitious, outspoken woman not want to be the most famous wife in America. Now, get back to the garden and don't forget to pick up the diplomat's gift (Not a DVD, for god's sake, not a DVD).
@chelseagirls: I was totally gasping at work. My boss's wife (I work in his house) kept asking me what was wrong. I just can't say how much I love this collection.
@lodown is waiting for MizJenkins: I think it's fine until you get to the WASP drag. If they had been coincidentally white then I would just attribute it to being a college acapella group who's trying to comment on misogyny in music (or, more likely, really likes Ben Folds). The fact that they drew attention to it…
@Valkyrie607votesMizJenkins: Yes, but without all the features on Bill Cosby.
I guess his step-dad and bros forgot to give him his "I'm down with the black folks" card. It clearly states on the back to show it before making any racist remarks. If you have his email we can sign him up for "Black People Love Us" quarterly.
13 and 21 make me deeply sad that I will never own or have anywhere to wear them.
@leesie: Ohgodmetoo. And SP was my life for 2 years! The first concert I attended! My brain is good-things-broken.
@LAmonkeygirl: So say we Oprah.
I... don't... get it. Is it like a field trip? Are they going together? Do they get plane tickets and the hotels and money to spend there? Does she just really like spending her money? Why? Why is this happening?
In 11th grade my Social Studies teacher pulled me into his office to tell me that I should date a classmate of mine. He told me that the boy in question was cute and smart, but most importantly, rich. Then he added, "Seriously, it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor man."
Here are reasons why I'm embarrassed by this song:
I'm so tired of Big Carrots trying to indoctrinate us with their sexy carrot message! I know what's in those chic bags! I'm sticking to my all-natural ingredient filled potato chips! Fight The Man!
