HA yeah - using the wrong word happens a lot good thing you're not a professional word user...

Thanks!! I also wanted to slap the shit out of that Doritos kid. And no one helped mom at the end of the commercial anyway.

Best screename ever. Which one? I didn't see it!!!!!!!!

That is a great point. I love that. I'm using it. THANK YOU.

But...he's BLACK!

Some white men.

RIGHT! There's always this implicit salute to the values of a white, male supremacy. "Class" and "sportsmanship" (in these contexts) essentially men "in keeping with the tradition of a system that values white males over all" and if you end up being talented, arrogant, and not white/male, you better run girl! The…

The punchline of this joke is the Broncos. Because they were "raped". Because being raped is humiliating, means you were totally dominated, etc. The humor in this joke is in linking the football team to being sexually dominated and humiliated. Like a rape victim. Are you seeing something else that I'm missing?

YES. He nailed it and it's so true. Read any article or comment that calls him a "thug", replace it in your mind with the n-word, and the tone and point is the same.

OMG.

Malcolm Smith is a friend of mine from college! I took him to his first frat party (yeah, I know) when he was a freshman. Besides being adorable, he has the biggest heart and is about the sweetest guy you could ever know. I realize this makes me famous, so feel free to kneel at my feet ;).

You said to stop being sensitive about rape jokes. People are sensitive to rape jokes because they fear rape or were raped (or know someone that was). So what exactly are you saying? Remain fearing rape and wanting to fight rape culture, but don't call out blatant attempts to make rape normalized and funny? Stop…

This is a sensitive topic for people that are afraid of being raped or have been raped. To tell people to stop being sensitive about an experience that is incredibly destructive is incredible FUCKED UP. It also shows how ignorant you seem to be on the impact of rape, which I find incredible (incredible in the way that…

EXACTLY.

OMG thanks for going there. I just can't with this person.

That's dope. It reminds me of white people who say everything is about race - like, if you catch yourself saying this, you have no idea the impact that gender/race actually have on most people. Shout out to your son and shout out the female engineers kicking his ass.

Spanx! She's awesome, maybe sort of unimpressed about to how she is represented in media, so doesn't put a lot of stock in it. I think I'm going to go with, "Why should media represent its audience?" I just don't think that was at any time the point.

DOPPPPPPPPPPE

Right - I agree. I think maybe this is the point of the retort. Why should media - fiction or otherwise - strive to represent the population of its audience? I think she's fairly resigned to racism (she's mixed), and I'm just not sure she sees media as important as I believe it is.

Yes, sure. The only thing I would add is that my mom says these things even when she is part of the group: "Well, there's never been a female president, so why does there need to be one on TV."
