Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

I've discussed both points ad nauseum with many people, and while we've come to some conclusions about why women snipe at each other, we still haven't figured out why men joke about rape. That's why I asked about it.
Your response was, " I'd like to know how a man can claim to love and respect women and then start laughing at his buddies' rape jokes while his girlfriend is sitting right next to him."
That's a defensive thread jack. I'm not sure why you did it, which is why I believe that it's a personal issue. The first time you actually responded to the original question asked was 3 responses down. You didn't say anything at all about women sniping at each other until that point. So, to answer you question, I guess I don't hang out with guys that make rape jokes unless you're talking about jokes that mention rape in a ridiculous way, i.e. "George Lucas raped my childhood". In that case, I don't consider it a rape joke, it's just a ridiculous take on not liking the direction that Star Wars took. So, if you don't like the company that you're keeping, change company.
