Hi. I have a question about rape that i'm embarrassed to ask anyone. I hate rape culture, and I always speak up when people try to make jokes about rape. I think that's wrong. I also have a problem with glorification of rape in the media and have always made decisions about what to watch accordingly. At the same time I am a woman with a rape fetish, and I like rape role play/fantasies in the bedroom. Does this make me unethical? Should I suppress this fetish?

No it does not make you unethical. It is actually an incredibly common fetish. There is no need to suppress as long as you are role playing in a legal and consensual way with someone who supports and understands what is going on. I would advise using a safe word in your play scenarios as well. As far as fantasies go, those are between you and yourself. You are free to be turned on by whatever floats your boat.
