With Tosh's joke, he started by saying that not all rape jokes were in bad taste and that he had quite a few that were actually funny that he was going to present. A female started heckling him and he responded by saying something along the lines of "I wish someone would rape you right now." And then continued on that vein for a while.

It was quite offensive and I think is right up there with Kramer's response to the heckler at his show. I followed the Tosh story a bit when it came out though and can't remember any support saying that the woman in the audience should toughen up. The best I could find online was that Louis CK tweeted that Tosh was funny after the incident. That was coupled with every other post condemning what he said.
