If you follow the analogy, he's making, it would effectively be prison rape, so it's ok.

But since all men are misogynists and oppressors, they can't be victims.

Thus it is OK for PZ to joke about raping men.

Considering what the Innocence Project has found, prison rape is a threat to every male who cannot afford a top notch legal defense in the US, law abiding or not.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Aha! So rape jokes are funny, it's only Rape jokes about skepchicks are forbidden. Kudos to them for trying to disempower the words emotive resonance. Perhaps we should get rid of the word rape altogether, it serves no useful purpose.

It wasn't a joke, he was equating rape with executions (or murder if you so choose). He's making a parallel. Whether it's a good parallel or not is up to you.

Sexual assault. Plain and simple, having rape as a separate category of sexual assault rather than say "serious" sexual assault or "sexual assault and abduction" or what have you, gives it a notoriety and stigma which are unnecessary and plays into the cultural melodrama that has built up around the word.

So, he was being serious?

Be careful, according to some, what you are doing, explaining, can be seen as apologizing for rape. Seriously - doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, if someone other than PZ made that comment, you would be a rape apologist.

ETA - I'm not saying that is what you are doing, or what you are. But people here (and elsewhere) have been called that for doing what you just did.
