Some people think domestic sexual abuse is funny

1. Not even going to watch it .... ug

I really like Leslie Jones except when they have her in skits where she's the ovverpowering/domineering woman. The one where she was the baseball fan a few weeks ago was horrible.

Who writes this stuff and why doesn't she object?

2. They didn't have any black women for a bit until Kenan refused to play women's roles

The domineering woman abusing men is a tired stereotype that encourages many well-meaning men to fear feminism and strong women

3. Y'all haven't heard about...

"Pegging", have you? Look. There is a segment of the population where women ARE the dominant participant in sex. And some guys (not my "cup of tea",personally) are totally into it. We keep forgetting the primary ingredient in racism, sexism, police abuse and sexual harassment, etc is POWER. In our society, there are situations where one person will have inordinate amount of power over someone else, either by law or by custom.
We then depend on the saying by Abraham Lincoln: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." More often than not, most people do not abuse their power. But to those who do, the remedy and also the preventative is accountability; that they will be held responsible and accountable for their actions. No one is above the law.
We, the people have that power; in the ballot box, in the jury box and if necessary our sheer numbers. This country is not only an experiment in self governing, it's also an experiment in self responsibility. Pay attention, Republicans.

4. Consent is key

a big part of the jokes in the video are that the man clearly did not want it nor have any choice in the abuse that left him physically battered.
