Famously? People have been making jokes about farse worse matters than rape for millenia. From war, to incurable illness, to genocide, to torture, to the plague, everything has been made into the subject of a joke.

It might be a novel concept for a prudish, politically correct section society, but it's historically true.

Nothing. It has to do with the "proved" part. Something known to be true man for millennia does not get "proved".
