There is another issue that we have foreign people on here that do not understand the term rape because it has been used in a joking way, so they think that it is actually a humourous term. We have to remember that this is a language forum and using terms in this way can be confusing for foreign members learning English and it's not good that they are understanding the term 'rape' in a joking way. If they mentioned it anywhere else I think people would be pretty shocked. Even if you don't believe in the morals behind it, such as offending people and so on, this is another issue to consider.
