Marital rape

Do you have family members who might see this thread?

So is it a moral absolute that you are not allowed to find a joke funny? Wow you have such double standards.

No I don't. Do you?

To me, jokes about rape aren't funny, one reason being, I have known and worked with rape victims. How is this a "double standard" on my part?

Sure, I already explained to you what I found amusing and it had nothing to do with rape victims. Do you think your standard about what people are allowed to find funny only applies to you or does it apply to everyone?

How can you claim the joke had nothing to do with rape victims? Do you not perceive women who are subjected to marital rape - in the case of this joke, divegeester's wife - as being rape victims?

Who is it you think has said you "are not allowed" to find rape jokes funny?

I was not laughing at Divegeester's wife, didn't even know he was married. I already explained to you what I found amusing.

So if I am, what are you on about?

So if he were not married, how would he rape his wife? The joke you thought funny was about marital rape, you realize that, right?

This is a non-sequitur. You asked me if I thought my standard about what people are allowed to find funny only applies to me or if it applies to everyone. The question presupposes that I do actually believe that you are not allowed to find a joke about a woman being raped by another poster funny. Who has said you are "not allowed" to find rape funny? I haven't said that. It's clear what I am on about here; the same can't be said about you.

Whodey simply asked a question. He said nothing specifically about marital rape. Assumptions had to be made by the reader. What assumption did you make?

So why exactly are you asking me these questions if I am allowed to smile at a joke? 🙄

You are now claiming whodey's 'joke' was not about marital rape?
