You can't --- unless you ask someone to rape you --- and these sort of comments from 216 and to some extent CB are ill-founded, mean and trying to trivialise the serious subject of rape. Given that they're talking to a rape victim in JD I think your insensitivity guys has reached new lows. You can't say you didn't know because she told you. And you still think she's overreacting?
Woah woah woah, first off. I wasn't using blindness as a comparison to rape. I was using it as an example of how I would take a joke that would offend someone who was blind. My whole point and it still stands is why someone should be made to feel bad about a joke if they didn't know the joke would offend someone without even knowing the person. I also never said anything about anybody overreacting, or anything. So, to be honest, your criticism is uncalled for. I've never even said a single thing about her experience nor have I made light of it, i'm just trying to ask questions and debate like adults. But everybody is jumping on the first sign of so called disrespect.
