... the case of the American man who had his penis cut off by his wife. It was presented as one of the funniest news stories of the year... what's to stop the world having a similar laugh about something less serious, say, a man getting knocked about by his wife?We routinely laugh at the notion of rape and of people being raped. We do it when we talk about jail. Every comedy show or opinion writer includes a humorous reference to being repeatedly and brutally raped when a person might be sent to prison for a petty infringement.
It's ever so funny.
