Is it okay to get angry at my female friends for jokingly running down the street from me screaming rape and shouting help us?

Woman here - it's not funny and your anger and frustration is understandable. Set the anger aside and try to get them to understand that this action puts you in danger. Not just physical. Your reputation could be harmed, as well. Plus, if they looked beyond you and your feelings maybe they could also think about the feelings of a person who has been raped. They wouldn't find this behavior funny - and hearing it would be traumatizing.

Have some honest, calm discussions and see if they can get to a better understanding of their own behavior. If not, you don't have to remain friends. I get that you live together, but roommates can have decent living situations without being friends.
