Listen here, smart guy. This joke is saying that after someone gets raped, they're told they couldn't have done anything to stop it, even if they thought they could have. But then, they're also told that they can't do anything about it after it happened, like report it or get help. It's like they're being told they're powerless both during and after the crime. If you don't understand this, you're dumber than I thought and should go back to your mom's basement.
