Re: Is Amy Shumer a rapist?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I would say first that I do think that it's likely that it was probably something that she exaggerated. But although it's way better than her being a rapist, it's still a pretty damn tasteless rape joke, which isn't great. And it's exactly the worst kind of rape joke - one that treats the victim as an object of humor and disdain, and one that invites us to place our selves in the shoes of the narrator (chuckling along about the clumsy self-deprecation and the quirky story about the time someone got raped).

Second, I don't think that any of this kind of verbal defense would be extended if Schumer was a man. And I think (although I applaud the urge not to rush to judgment) that in a lot of ways that's basically a good thing - not that we should to rush to condemn, but that our instinct really should be not to cavil about "well who knows about what really happened" and "well, was it really rape" and all that kind of thing, but that it should be centered on the victim - those are ideas that I broadly agree with. And so it's really kind of sad to see so many people them abandon them almost immediately when the person talking about it is a female comedian and one that we happen to like. It's kind of shocking.
