Lampoon Cartoon Sexism
The author criticizes a cartoon published in The Harvard Lampoon for its insensitivity towards rape. The cartoon depicts a man and a woman in bed, with the man asking why she didn't press charges after their first sexual encounter, implying it was non-consensual. She argues that the cartoon dangerously suggests that rape is trivial and that "no means yes." She expresses disappointment that the cartoon passed through The Lampoon's editorial process without objection, highlighting a broader insensitivity towards serious issues like sexual assault.| Creator |
