It's no longer socially acceptable to talk about rape as a crime of
passion, boys; it's like making jokes about black people and
watermelons. Unless you're from the barefoot and pregnant school of
social relations, you should have enough sensitivity to avoid
discussing extremely unpleasant violent acts in a flippant manner in
front of people who must live in fear of being potential victims, or
who are likely acquaintances of actual ones.
Jim Muller is of course an exception, because he's an artiste.
