It's simple.

when your friend tells a sexist joke, tell them it isn't funny.

If you don't believe you're involved with men engaging in this behavior, then you are either blind or complicit.

Being a killjoy won't stop rape, at most it's going to stop laughter.

Ah, yes, the joy of a well made rape joke. Why would a bunch of women need to wet blanket my sense of humor? My laughter is more important to the universe than your screams. AmIRite?

If you are interrupting laughter with screams then go see a psychiatrist and get that fixed. Do not impose your trauma on the world, don't spread misery.

None of that is going to stop rape, you are just going to ruin the moment for everyone. Make them tiptoe around your feelings.

If the moment is laughing at a rape joke, the moment should be interrupted. I feel like that's a given.

why do you like the rape jokes so much that it ruins the moment if someone says rape isn’t funny?

A good joke is a good joke. I'm not going to hold my joy captive just because you got a hangup.

Y'all want me and other men to be like Will Smith at the academy awards, and it's just not going to happen.

what is good about rape jokes?

If you got a sense of humor and feel secure being your own person, it's the same as every other joke.

of course, and every other joke in the world is judged on whether or not it’s a good joke or a shit one.

You're garbage.
