Inadvertently laughing at one rape joke doesn't make me a rape sympathiser, any more than a feminist laughing at Brand would mean that they applaud man-beaters. Nevertheless, I didn’t sleep that night, and frantically called the BBC producer the next day, fearing that to have admitted to once laughing at a rape joke could see me labelled as a leading figure in the so-called “rape culture”. If the PC police had anything to do with it, I’d never work again.
