Feedback on Can you make jokes about rape? 24 September 2009
Your comments

Jokes about rape, or which refer to rape, are said to have become commonplace on the comedy circuit in recent years.  Earlier this month Jenni was joined by journalist and co founder of theartsdesk.com Veronica Lee and author of 'The Noughtie Girl's Guide to Feminism' Ellie Levenson, asking are jokes about or including rape ever truly funny, and who has the right to make them? 
In response to this piece, many of you contacted us and here is a selection of your views.
