Scenario: It’s night, and a man is walking home. He sees ahead there is a woman going in the opposite direction as him. Knowing not to stop or approach her, but his presence makes her nervous. What would help further in this scenario if anything?

      You think that’s a rape joke? The fuck is wrong with you?

      The joke is he’s doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing to ease her mind. That’s the joke. Not that he was going to sprint up and assault her. Maybe you need to get off the internet for a while.

        Running fast towards a woman at night in order to scare her is the joke.

        What do you think a woman is scared of when a strange man runs at her while she’s alone at night?

        What’s the punchline?

              The joke is that his actions would have the opposite outcome to what he desired. He wanted to put her mind at ease, instead he’d scare the shit out of her. End of. I don’t see how I’m having to explain this to you.

                What would the woman be scared of when a strange man runs at her at night?

                Rape and murder.

                It’s a rape joke. Say it with your chest instead of trying to deny that you found a misogynistic joke funny and funny enough to retell it.
