“ In telling rape jokes, or throwing the word casually into conversation, there is an assumption that the person you are talking to won’t have experienced this – or that, if they have, you just don’t care about the memories you might provoke, the anxiety you might trigger. “I think people don’t necessarily realise how common rape is,” says Brindley, “and that when they’re speaking to an audience there will definitely be people there who are rape survivors. On that basis, I think you have to have some recognition about the impact of what you’re saying.” In my view, rape jokes feed a culture in which jurors either disbelieve rape complainants, or just don’t think rape is that significant.
