Women please vote

The purpose of this thread was to illustrate the actual number of women - or men - whose lives are touched by rape. The reason behind wanting to illustrate this fact is that when people crack jokes about rape, they might be playing to a very limited audience, not to mention bringing back terrible memories which are sometimes best left in the past.

So, for those of you that feel the need, go ahead and joke about it all you like. It seems that perhaps this was a pointless excercise anyway. I'll just accept that I was wrong and instead of trying to create understanding next time, I'll just decide the person cracking the joke is an insensitive fuckwit and react accordingly.
