As I'm getting older and realizing that terrible things really do happen in the world, comments like that are not as funny as they used to be. Back in high school I would laugh things off when I would hear my friends say derogatory things. Now things that I used to say such as "that's gay," "hey bitch!" or "I got raped by the bookstore" aren't funny or lighthearted to me anymore because I have grown up and matured and realized that ignorant comments like those can do worlds of damage.
Stay strong. There are comments out there being made by people who are not aware of what is going on in this world. I really do wish that people could be sensitive to other's pain. The excuse "I didn't know" should not even apply because matters like these are things that should not be made into a joke to get a few quick laughs.
I love you Megan and I want to try so hard to support you and be a good friend to you. No matter what, trust that there are good people and good intentions in the world, there is love, you just have to find it and not let go.
did you talk to him about it? you could try talking wiht him aobut why that's such an inapropriate thing to say... maybe make a little impact in his limited world...maybe save another woman in the future...
but, only if you want to do that...you certainly don't have to especially if that would be too hard.
