Well, I have heard some from like comedians or whatever, and maybe back when I was in school some dickhead I don't talk to would make some joke, but those are a far cry from "friends," who I do talk to. Now working in a corporate environment, no, I definitely don't hear HR bait like that ever, most people are a tad smarter than that it seems.
It could be that I'm "friends" with my "friends" because "none of us are the type to rape people" and stuff, of course. Maybe you're just hanging out with rapists and I'm not?
And when did I say I was worried about being killed? Statistically if I am, it probably was my partner, since that's how that works, but I'm simply speaking on the logistics of educating my friends about rape, it's just not something that's gonna come up like that, we're just trying to play spades and sip some whiskey we're not interrogating each other over our sexual history.
It’s not just your friends you should be giving feedback to, but I think you get what I was trying to say and you’re just being a bit of a pedant right now. You do your thing. If you’re not worried about violence then obviously this comment thread wasn’t meant for you. The guy I was replying to WAS worried about it, so I gave him an actionable way to improve things.
Feels like you’re being very defensive here. Just don’t be a shitty guy, and call out shitty guys when you see them if you want to make shit better. It’s not that deep.
