The explicitness depends on the targeted audience, time of release, nature of the material, and most importantly, the directness of the act itself, and the genders of both the survivor and perpetrator. The justification is that these are just jokes, and joking about something does not mean you condone it, which might be true for some people engaging in this kind of humour. However, when such humour is engaged with, it ends up downplaying the crime, if not out rightly justifying it. Like the motivational-style poster of a man cradling an unconscious woman with the caption “How did you lose your virginity??” The answer: “Rohypnol.” Or the governor of Maine’s quip comparing a political foe’s budget plan to anal rape “without Vaseline”? Or the club incident in which comedian Daniel Tosh responded to a woman’s criticism by asking, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by, like, five guys right now?” Sure, a rape joke is a far cry from an actual incident of sexual violence, but think of the rape jokes as the foundation of the pyramid of rape culture. If you take away the foundation — if you create a situation where rape jokes are unacceptable, instead of a situation where victims feel forced to bite their tongues and bear it — then everything else will be a little bit less likely to take root and flourish. Child rights activist Hartini Zainudin, who co-founded Yayasan Chow Kit Voice of the Children, a crisis and drop-in centre for vulnerable children in central Kuala Lumpur, says the culture in government schools has become more misogynistic over the past few decades. A spokesperson added the Met is “an organisation of more than 44,000 people; there will be a small number with attitudes and beliefs that are not welcome in the Met; we will challenge, educate and discipline as appropriate.”

UPDATE (07/13/12): Just saw this excellent piece by Lindy West, re-tweeted by @pattonoswalt: " How to Make a Rape Joke." Excerpt: They released a statement saying: "We have given careful thought to the recent criticism of the character Dapper Laughs, which has focused on his activities outside of the ITV2 programme, whose content was carefully considered and complied. We have taken the decision that we will not be considering this show for a second series."And Cosby went down, because serious journalists and survivors’ testimony followed in the wake of Buress’s opening. In January 2015, comedy’s august great-uncle, Jay Leno, remarked: “I don’t know why it’s so hard to believe women. I mean, you know, you go to Saudi Arabia, you need two women to testify against a man. Here you need 25.” On the other hand, other research has found that people who laugh at rape jokes are not necessarily more likely to condone sexual violence. In one study, for example, participants who found rape jokes funnier were not more likely to agree with statements such as “rape is often excusable” or “a woman who goes home with a man on their first date deserves whatever happens to her.” They cost a great deal of money to maintain considering the time you spend inside. 23. How is virginity like a soap bubble? Nearly three weeks later, the physical education teacher was transferred to another school. ‘Pity the teacher’?

You look at the words ‘show business,’ and business is the longer word,” he says. Clean Comedians supplies a lot of talent for corporate retreats, and some clients have gone over material line-by-line, he points out. “In recent years, (it’s been said) that the new prophets are comedians, and I love that. But read the Old Testament – there are very few prophets and most of them got stoned.” He also said while simulating having sex, as reported by MailOnline: "I've done another triangle. I'm f***ing a little kid. This is great. F**k the kid with the triangle. No that's too much." The video of the talk, which was on Herring's YouTube channel, has since been removed.Ain’s experience showed her teacher’s misogyny was far from unusual and #MakeSchoolASaferPlace grew. Women and girls shared harrowing personal accounts of sexual harassment – from slapping and pinching to rape threats and body-shaming – all perpetrated by male students and educators. The conduct, including messages about violence against the public, amounted to bullying and harassment, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog found. For me, the single most important thing is for us to train our teachers and the school community to understand child safeguarding policies and what can they do to prevent any form of misconduct in schools,” said Cheryl Ann Fernando, the CEO of Pemimpin GSL, a Kuala Lumpur-based organisation focused on improving school leadership skills. The Centre for Women’s Justice wants the government inquiry to be empowered to compel evidence and to hunt out the deeper reasons, such as alleged misogyny, for repeated scandals. On May 9, she tweeted that she had been issued a warning letter for not attending school from April 26 to 28, even though her father had informed the school that she would be staying at home as a result of the rape threat. Ain subsequently called for reforms to protect future whistle-blowers in schools.
