There's also the extremely gendered asymmetry of the victims of rape. If you don't want to make women feel uncomfortable and unsafe - stop normalising it by making "rape jokes" or enabling the people who do claiming it's just "their sense of humour".

Sure. So people who joke about murdering people are awful human beings too. I think the point still stands though - in general if you joked about murdering someone, most of the men listening wouldn't feel "unsafe and uncomfortable" thinking about the reality of how likely they are to be victims of murder.
