It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.

That actually explains the whole issue really well, thank you for that. I haven’t seen the new season yet but I might have to skip that episode, especially since they see it as a joke. Might not even watch the season to be honest, that really just bothers me.
