"Just joking," eh?

"Sociologists have tried valiantly to break the stranglehold the 'just joking' argument has on our discourse. Study after study shows what common sense should tell us, which is that men who tell rape 'jokes' or otherwise express hostile views towards women are also more likely to beat and rape women. Worse, when men hear other men expressing misogynist beliefs, their proclivity to commit rape rises."
