FEMENISTS PRAISE SARAH SILVERMAN FOR "RAPE JOKES"



 Sarah Silverman

 I know your asking yourself what the hell does a 40 year old Jewish chick, that’s been known for her corky, borderline idiotic behavior have to do with anything of the subjects I usually talk about.


Let me first start off by first saying that I recently came across a HBO special of one comedian Sarah Silverman. Now for those that have watched some of Sarah Silverman’s stand up, you pretty much already know her type of style as it pertains to comedy, and you know that she has far left leaning views. So it’s no surprise that during an HBO stand up show, especially involving one Sarah Silverman, that there would be no shortage of controversy. So I watched for a while and as she began to tell her classic “rape jokes”, I paid close attention to the crowd’s reaction, which was more negative than positive as you can imagine. Yet, as she proceeded to make fun of the fact that a very large majority of rape victims don’t report that they have been raped in the first place, I thought to myself about the thousands of young girls all across America, who don’t report the fact that they have been raped, because of the fear of being threatened, or worst the fear of their story not being believed. Needless to say i didn't find that very funny. To make light of that, to make fun of that, to downplay the seriousness of a subject such as this made absolutely no sense to me, and I expected this type of behavior to be dismissed, but in fact it was embraced as you'll read later on in my post.

Rick Ross blackballed from reebok by feminist groups
For Now, let’s backtrack to April of 2013, when a firestorm swirled because of lyrics from rapper Rick Ross, and as the feminist came out in droves, they talked about how the culture of hip hop tolerated and made light of rape and its victims. Eventually forcing the hand of Reebok, a multimillion dollar corporation who eventually dropped Rick Ross from their ad campaign.

 Now, in my humble opinion Rape is WITHOUT QUESTION something that as a human society should NEVER make light of. The sure evil and downright barbaric nature of rape itself makes it not only shameful but disgusting, and although the reaction or lack of reaction from the feminist crowd puzzled me, a blog by one Gina Berreca in the Huffington post pretty much underlined the utter hypocrisy of the majority feminist today.


The title of one Gina Berreca’s blog post was, “What Happens when women tell rape jokes”, and she proceeded to not only praise, one Sarah Silverman for her actions, but in some ways even envy her. Now, where this becomes extremely problematic, is when I looked into the background of one Gina Berreca and found that she herself is a professor of English and feminist theory at the university of Connecticut.

Now let that sink in for a minute. 

You’re telling me that as a professor at a university, as one who is responsible for the intellectual growth of young adults, you can sit here and not only defended, but encourage this type of behavior? Just another case of feminist hypocrisy.
