Beck's dad was raped so he can totes joke about rape

[jillboston]

He's a fucking asshole. The end.

[IIOY]

He has a Black friend!

Fuck outta here.

[frog]

What in the actual fuck?!?

[cattledogkisses]

Knowing someone who has been raped is not on the same level of trauma as being raped yourself.

That's about all I can muster here.

[decemberwedding07]

Also, note how it was a woman luring a man and they were making fun or people shouting rape, because clearly the woman was luring him and wanted it? Sick piece of fucking shit. You don't get to perpetuate the stereotype that women are raped because they're asking for it and then say, "No, guys, my dad was raped so you can't criticize me!" WTF? In what world does tha make sense at all?

I mean, he thought rape was a skit-worthy topic. If his words suddenly turned into the shit that they are, he would choke to death.

FTFY

I thought the same thing. Can you imagine someone revealing such personal information about you for their own professional gain? Vomit.

[MWOS]

man rape = something terrible with long lasting consequences

woman rape= a total fucking joke

[Wrath0fKuus]

IT WASN'T EVEN HIS EXPERIENCE!

FFS, it's like he read that entitled undergrad's essay about privilege and was like "yup, knew someone who suffered hardship so I can play that as my own card, totally makes sense to me."

i'm sure he held off until he was dead so the father could either not be embarassed or not deny it.

[aussiecrush]

I flat out don't believe him.

[Deleted]

Logic and empathy escape this man.

[NewOrleans]

[cattledogkisses]

I wouldn't normally criticize someone's deeply felt emotional experience, but this obviously didn't affect him deeply enough if he thinks that rape jokes are ok.

I'm thinking that this wasn't actually a big deal to him at all, and he's just playing it up for effect. In which case, there are no words for how disgusting he is.

[heyjude]

Because your parent was raped you get to make fun of rape? Huh? The logic doesn't even follow.

In reading the subject of the thread, I thought you meant Beck the musical artist, and I was about to be really sad.

Glenn Beck, however? Not surprised.

I'm in good company.

[Michelle]

I'm sad regardless of whose father would have to endure that (or mother).

I'm disgusted that he cannot appreciate even vicariously that as a victim of rape making jokes about it is wrong. Just wrong.

And I'm beyond disgusted - I can't even think of an appropriate word - that he would share that kind of information about his father. My dad has gone through some crazy shit but I don't go posting on the interwebz about it, even under my fake name.

"I'm truly sorry for your personal experience -- but it doesn't mean you're above criticism," wrote Scott Meslow, entertainment editor for The Week. "And as long as you continue to spread dangerous falsehoods and grotesque stereotypes about sexual assault, you need to be preached to about it."

It's not his experience. It's his father's experience.  Screw him.  Forcibly so he does have a clue and can then speak about rape.

Yep this.   I was like WHAT? NOOO! Beck isn't the rape joke type, he can't be.

Glen Beck needs to rot in the nineth circle of hell.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

I don't know where to drop this so I will do it here. I finally found my favorite #yesallwomen:

Because my hormones make me an ineffective leader and a man's hormones absolve him of rape.

Same. I'm just now opening this because I'm already wigged out that Beck is a Scientologists and I really couldn't handle it if he was a rape sympathizer on top of it.

Awwwwww man.

I was thinking the same. Especially since I was just listening to Beck yesterday.
