I agree! Even if people think the actual crime is serious, they don't treat discussion of it seriously, or treat the victims like they would treat victims of race crimes or other senseless violence.
I wonder if men feel like I do when I imagine it happening to me and then to have the added injustice of the raper laughing at me and getting high fives from his buddies for his "conquest." it makes me feel like crying and it hasn't even happened to me! but, it has happened to others and just like we think the Nazis are monsters for killing Jews and congratualting themsleves on it, we should think any men (or women) are monsters that laugh about rape or portray it in a humorous way (Okay, I'll stop beating the holocaust dead-horse!)
