Dear Internets: How to make Rape Jokes that won’t make Women hate You
For all those who feel that criticism of rape jokes is horrible censorship of your subversive point of view: it’s a fairly simple test, you shouldn’t even need to write it down, just reflect for a moment.
Quickhit: Read this instead
