Cloudbringer-Don't worry about etiquette, I think you are totally right - and even if I didn't think that; as long as you're not being insulting/racist/sexist, you can say anything you want!
Jokes and references to rape are so common that I don't even bother discussing it but I know I probably should
About a year ago I was singing in a band which rehearsed about 1 1/2 hours away travelling by train, and one night I got stuck at the railway station with the last train gone. Some guys that hung out there (it was a notoriously "bad" station) harassed and assaulted me - it was probably the most frightening experience in my life. Since then, I don't travel after dark if I can avoid it, and men who resemble them still scare me. I'm a bit ashamed saying all of this on the board, but I just wanted to support your opinion and I totally understand that you can't bear to see the word being joked about!
