Michael Che sharing that rape joke about Simon Biles reminds me of this: Rape jokes are often used to "put a woman in her place" http://wagatwe.com/blog/rape-jokes-bad …pic.twitter.com/Ainqts9nqC
When sexist men feel insecure about their place in society, they seek comfort in using rape jokes to 1) bond; 2) harass; & 3) reassert their position in society. It's like, "yeah you're getting all this support now, but don't forget men are in charge!"http://wagatwe.com/blog/rape-jokes-bad …
Black woman getting too much public support? Uh oh, the social hierarchy is threatened! Better use a rape joke to maintain the status quo! http://wagatwe.com/blog/rape-jokes-bad …pic.twitter.com/CSDEYVCVqg

http://Cash.me/$wagatwe Che's tasteless stories don't upset me, so instead of just being outraged, I wanted to turn this into a teachable moment. rape jokes reveal a lot about the folks who tell (and endorse) them BUT ALSO mere exposure to rape jokes can have a real world impact.pic.twitter.com/rHkbGOnhMQ
