Your perspective and analogies are all wrong (which is why you have downvotes). You must not be close enough to many women who have shared the reasons why rape and rape culture are a non-joking manner. Just don't say the word "rape" unless it's serious or medical.

What’s so special about women here? I’ve spent a decent amount of time in prison where men raping men is very much a thing, rape jokes were common even among those who found it absolutely awful. (Actual rape jokes, not expressions like “ear rape”)

Is there a reason why you think that women would be especially susceptible to this besides some bizarre sexist fantasies of yours?

What you’re suggesting here is far more offensive than any rape jokes could ever be.
