I’m not a man, and don’t need to respond to the poll, but I really must address this.

I’m willing to bet $20 that people in medicine/law enforcement don’t deal with the trauma of victims using humour _in front of the victim_.

If you really can’t tell the difference between making a joke in a philosophical discussion and barging in where people are talking about their own rape experiences…well, you’re maybe not so bright.
