Amen #13, I was just about to post the same thing.. A few wise words from the Biz xD And I sort of agree with the rest of the posts, YDI for being to scared to take her out on an actual date and even let her bring a friend to YOUR family.. Sereously, why?!

Umm, I know you're just trying to be funny and impress your little internet friends, but rape isn't something to joke about. Didn't your mama raise you right?

That wasn't funny either, joking about someone's mom..

Actually, I wasn't making a joke. That was a legitimate question.

You do realize that this is a humor website, not a howto site? Why did you get so wound up about joking about rape, but joking about murder was OK? I hope you are not going out to try anti-freeze.

Haha, if you don't laugh at rape and other bad things in the world then all you can do is sit in despair. Rape is awful for sure but hell, if you don't laugh all you can do is cry. FML is just helping the process.

I didn't mention murder because the first time I read your comment, I read it as drugging both the girlfriend and the boyfriend, and then apparently 'stuffing' the both of them--which, by the way, I thought was hilariously anti-heteronormative. Alas, no. My problem is that, while this is a humor website, joking about rape isn't at all of the same caliber as joking about murder, and isn't funny no matter what. Joking about murder/violence is insidious enough in itself, but it's not nearly as harmful as joking about rape. Joking about rape isn't funny because it only lends support to the perverse mindset of our current 'rape culture'--one in which rape is not only made light of, but normalized, condoned, and excused. When you perpetuate the idea that girls 'deserve it' when they get raped, that it's somehow our fault when it happens, it only underscores the incredibly painful lack of sensitivity society as a whole has toward rape victims and the crime of rape itself. You're implying that sexual punishment is an acceptable form of retribution/humiliation for the misdeeds of women--a way of putting us in our place, or showing us 'who's boss,' if you will.

(continued, because FML really does not want me to post this.) Your joke is a prime example of victim blaming--she deserved to be raped because she was a bitch to the OP--and it's not okay. I'd have felt WAY more comfortable if you'd just suggested he murdered the both of them, because that doesn't involve a gender specific crime which is hugely under-reported, under-prosecuted, constantly encouraged and then excused by society.

meepmeep, that's total bullshit! If you think humor is a guide for civilized behavior in a society, you are completely misguided. Often, my comments suggest outrageous and unacceptable behavior and that is why I think they are funny (I hope some others do as well. Sometimes I get confirmation that some people do appreciate my humor.) Did you see that one yesterday where the kid getting off the elevator on the third floor pressed all the buttons and the OP was going to the 35th floor? I suggested that the OP punch the kid in the asshole. Do you seriously think I was advocating such physical violence for an annoying prank? Do you think I really condone anal punching? I don't know whether you have been the victim of date rape or are close to someone who has, but I never intended my joke to be interpreted as being supportive of that crime. I realize to you it may seem that way, but you have a different point of view, so you can choose to take me at my word that I never intended to condone date rape. I'd like to say it won't happen again, but if I started to think about anyone who might possibly be offended at one of my comments, I couldn't contribute. I'm going to write as I always have and ask you to keep in mind that what I say to try to get laughs does not necessarily conform to my true beliefs.
