What Baddiel actually saidKate McCann says, "So it's acceptable to joke about raping a woman?" And Carl Benjamin says - well, shouts - "YES! ANY QUESTIONS?" The thing is Carl: you don't look like you're joking. You look like you're consumed with rage.
George Carlin made a joke about rape when he said you can make a joke of anything
He also said it depends on how you construct the joke. He also said "
i've got nothing against the feminists I happen to agree with most of the feminist philosophy I have read. I agree for the most part that men are vain greedy brutal assholes who have just about ruined this planet because they afraid someone might have a bigger dick out there. Men are basically insecure about the size of their dicks and so go to war over it"
He made a lot of points you and most of the people quoting him would rip the piss out of other people for stating.
Benjamin also said he would not be happy if someone said what he did to his own wife.
Benjamin could also not make a joke if his life depended on it. You both have that in common.
